I am enjoying the walk...



I cannot imagine why I was in such a hurry to get to the destination or to reach some goal. I have taken an attitude of when I get there, I get there, and I am grateful. Life is so much more fulfilling and joyous. This does not mean I am now showing up for appointments late. I prepare to be somewhere and most times I am early, right on time or just plain on time for the occasion, meaning I was more concerned about getting to the destination and not disappointing anyone. When I let go of the old thinking and do the appropriate amount of preparation, I arrive on time even if I am late. Sometimes I am still the first one to get there. I now see that perhaps, I was meant to be in another space or place for a greater purpose. I do not want to miss out on those moments.

I carry this attitude as I walk on my journey of life. When we hurry to get something (such as, a new car, more money, a larger home, a special someone in our lives, more loving relationships), most times we get these things, then we lose interest after awhile and move on to something else, reaching the end point with the same lack of fulfillment. I began to realize that it was indeed, the in between steps that fulfilled me the most. If there is a beginning, there will be an end. I discovered I will get there. Getting there is not the most important thing any longer. I think for me this is growth.

So, I just allow the process and let it unfold in its own time and way. I was one who wanted to skip steps. The steps between the beginning and end turns out to be valuable and sometimes that is where the joy lies.

Meditation: contemplate on, I allow the divine process to unfold in its own time and way and I enjoy each step in the process on my walk. Take 3 cleansing deep breaths, go into the silence for at least 3 minutes.
