Just a thought...
For those of us that follow the spiritual path, we tend to believe that we have been put on this earth for a purpose. That there's a reason why we are here- not just to experience life and all its glory, but to fulfill a purpose, to recognize our own destiny and talent and to make the most of this gift, whatever it may be.
And with that belief firmly held in our minds, I think we have a tendency to look at the shape our life is taking and think "I'm supposed to have done this/been there/achieved this by now..." We are our own worst enemy when it comes to celebrating our present accomplishments because we don't think we are far enough along yet, that we're behind schedule in reaching our goal or getting where we think we're supposed to be.
I guess in my mind, I'm thinking that when we die, we'll go on to the next spiritual plane and we'll probably sit down with some higher being and review our lives. And for some bizarre reason, I've always thought they're going to look at my life and say "Well yes, you got there eventually, but you were supposed to have done it much earlier. You should have reached this goal by this age, you should have realized this point by that age... You didn't fail, by a long shot. But you didn't quite get there as quickly as you should have."
That's always been the thought in the back of my mind. Until the other day when I suddenly realized that maybe that's not the case at all. Maybe I'm going to sit down to have that conversation with a higher being and they're going to say " Wow- you got there pretty quick. That was years ahead of schedule. And look at all the other great stuff you learned and accomplished along the way. We didn't have any of that planned for you. Well done!"
I won't know how that chat is going to unfold until I get there, which I hope will be a looooong time coming. But for now, somehow I feel a whole lot better knowing that the second option is a real possibility. The pressure I put on myself to achieve now, now, now is not necessarily what the universe has on its schedule for my lifetime.
And with that in mind, it's finally settled into my bones that it's time to just go with the flow, take each day as it passes and be proud of everything I achieve, no matter how small, each and every day.
Because chances are, I'm years ahead of schedule. And I should take the time to enjoy the ride.

One of the nice things about problems is that a good many of them do not exist except in our imaginations.
