Here we are—almost midway through a new month—and—we're more than halfway to the beginning of autumn. How does his happen and how does this rush of time sit with
you?
As we're staring into the final four months of the year, we often begin to reflect on how things have played out for us, how we've drawn on our practice and how timing has had an impact on our lives and choices.
Timing—it can be quite tricky, can't it? And how many times have we felt our timing was off throughout this year? Too soon, too early, too little attention paid, too late…
Let's consider this quote I heard recently: "I've waited too long for the wrong thing." We've all been in this moment. What's the way forward?
Let's first address the notion of "too long". Says who? Someone near or not
so dear to us? Our Chattermind? The all too present "they"?
Now let's remember that "timing" is an artificial construct that we've created to "manage" our lives and in turn, expectations. When we remember this, deadlines take on a much different meaning and don't nearly hold the weight that we think they do.
This brings us to the reminders that nobody died and very few decisions can't be remade.
When have you "Waited Too Long" (2:55) and what have you done about it?
