I love new ideas! I love the spark that comes and fills my soul when a new idea hits! I love the energy that fills me when I have found a creative project that is just perfect for me!
Then, I get impatient-I want it realized NOW I want to see my BIG GIANT VISION life and in fully restored technocolor (or is it technicolor?). And what grabs me is that when you are in that space, the creative flow, more ideas just keep pouring in and there I sit like a sponge soaking it all in until I am about to explode with excitement!
And that is when the universe smiles, pats me on the head and says, “Now sweetie, everything has it’s incubation period-you must be calm and rest and let things unfold.”
Hmph, *stomps food* “I dont’ wanna….”
And yet, I must. The past year I have learned to sit with things, enjoy the process of contemplation and ease as much as the whirl of action. I am experiencing the beauty of waiting, anticipating and living presently with the moment.
We are so conditioned for instant gratification in our world. Information is a few clicks away, we can purchase a book and have it downloaded to our device at 3am while sitting on our couch. So much is instant. I am learning to wait, to enjoy and to really be present with what it is I am seeking.
It started small with me..putting aside a small amount of money each week to save up for the brandy new fantastic digital camera I want…knowing that at the rate I am going it will take about a year and a half to put the money aside. And yet, it’s ok with me. It allows me the opportunity to be present with my plans, enjoy my personal discipline and work towards something-however small.
Here is to being present with the process! Noticing the moments and living fully!
