Are we ready?
I forgot my keys. Pulled up in the parking lot to unlock the Monday morning and I don’t have the one tool I need to do it. So much frustration. Drive back home, pull in only to realize that I drove my vehicle here so obviously the keys are in said vehicle. No surprise lingers as I see them hanging from the gear shift.
Scatter brained for me is not abnormal, but it is always a symptom of something bigger. So often we kick ourselves for not knowing how to, for not being ready yet, for not having all the answers to all the questions that could be posed, so we don’t start. We aren’t ready enough. It’s not the right time. We can’t do it without x, y, and more of z. Excuses, energy stealers, and moreover hints that the right answers are right beneath our nose. I didn’t need more tools. I needed focus and movement. The time to start is now. You have all you need right now. This is your sign. Do it. Whatever that thing is that you are tolerating because you have to, you don’t. That place you can’t afford to visit, you can. You can’t miss your purpose but you can miss joy so move into that field that scares you now. You are ready.
As I sat staring at my keys I realized that in some ways I have been putting off the bigger dream by fulfilling miniature versions of it. Day in and out in dress rehearsal to perfect the timing, the method, the delivery so I wouldn’t mess up the real dream. As if that were even possible. There is a time and place for rehearsal. We all have dues to pay, but if you are in the doldrums of repeating the same old lines its time to get this show on the road. You are ready.
So here I go, all in again. Equipped with the tools I’ve gathered so far. Some old, some repaired, a few that are brand new. I’ll pick up more along the way and this season will certainly repeat, but I’m not in this for perfect show. I’m in it for transcendence. You ready to join me?
