Begin & Continue

There was a poster on the wall in the studio where I did my yoga teacher training that said “There are two rules on the spiritual path: begin, and continue” – Sufi Saying.

It occurred to me recently, that that is how I create anything.  Whether it’s a knitting project (like the work in progress to the left), a meditation practice, a blog, or my way of living, first I begin, then I continue.  The trick is to keep continuing.

Given that, I’m not going to beat myself for not having blogged the past few weeks.  I’m simply going to move forward, and take with me the lesson that it helps to have some posts ready for days when it’s just not going to happen.  Also, it’s not good for me to wait until the day I’m supposed to post, because then I feel rushed and pressured to think of something to say.

Is there some area in your life where you’ve left off and need to continue?
