Another way of saying "detach ego from results" is to experience the world in a far less judgmental way, particularly when it comes to our self-image. Work hard at whatever results you want. But don't be dependent on the results for your happiness. (Ironically, this often leads to better results, as in sports psychology. Athletes know that to play their best and enjoy the game, they have to focus on the present moment and not be so concerned about the outcome. Same with life. See "Yoga Tennis" <a href="http://yogademystified.com/yoga-tennis/" target="_blank">http://yogademystified.com/yoga-tennis/</a> ) Bob Weisenberg <a href="http://YogaDemystified.com" target="_blank">http://YogaDemystified.com</a> Hi, Michael.

Can you explain what you mean by detatching ego from results? Thanks for that. It's very thought provoking, The photo is amazingly beautiful and textured. Where was it taken?
