Pardon me, do you have the time?

It’s never too early to dream.
It’s never too late to start.
The key is to begin. Now.
How does this change your day?
Now look what you’ve started! (Good for you!)
Me, too. When we meet on the road we will recognize each other, and wave.
Stick with it

As I got out of my car at the grocery store parking lot, I noticed a sticker in the window of the vechicle next to me:
And it really stuck with me. (Pun totally intended.) I felt inspired and uplifted, just by seeing this.
But wait, it gets better.
When I returned to my car, this vehicle was still parked and the people who belonged to it were there. We exchanged the normal hellos that you do when you are juggling neighboring car door navigation. Then I said, “Hey I love your sticker!”
Surprisingly she replied, “Would you like one?”

I’m pretty familiar with the – my – monkey mind, when I’m specifically trying to meditate. But recently I’ve noticed my monkey mind is actually at play, well, ALL. The. Time.
Look (she said to herself, she said), and notice how often I am working on something and an interrupting thought crosses my mind. That I then act on in that moment.
- Making supper, and I have a question about an upcoming conference. I go check my shared doc of our planning team’s notes. Right now.
- Reading my daily morning inspiration, and I wonder about today’s weather. I pull up the weather app to check. In this very moment.
- Creating a piece of writing, presentation, or course, and I see my tea is empty. I go get a refill. Immediately.
In each case, I pause what it is that I am currently doing and attend to something other that that. Wihtout thinking about it.
I had no idea my monkey mind existed not just in mediation, but EVERYWHERE. And that I’ve been mindlessly letting it lead.

Holding the vision of what you want, your goal, your end product, is important. Even greater is to dwell in the joy of that vision attained, and then give it up.
And then, get moving.
Begin. And then, begin again.
Here’s the kicker: it can be hard to make the efforts when they merely stumble rather than produce the perfection.
But ohh, my dear, that is creation.
The process. Not (only) the product.
