Oogway Says, Just Begin…
I sometimes hear reluctance from those who want to try meditation. They believe that they simply cannot and will never be able to quiet their thoughts to effectively meditate.
To quote Master Oogway from Kung Fu Panda: “Patience my friend. Patience reveals the master plan.”
On the surface, statements like this can sometimes feel silly or unhelpful, but hidden deep within them is often a greater truth that can be challenging to accept and require patience to apply. While Oogway is a fun, fictional character, the truth that lies beneath the quote is poignant, real and powerful: To grow as a person we must often “let go.”
Meditation helps us grow into our
best self.
Over time we slowly let go of limiting beliefs about what we think we are and are not capable of. We surrender unhelpful expectations about time-based achievement. We release habits of the past that no longer serve - what our experience and conditioning in life tells us we “must” do, and what our mind and ego compel us to do. Through this release, we open ourselves to a new, more relaxed and expansive way of being.
Possible? Yes.
Easy? Not always.
Worth it? Absolutely.
It takes time & patience to create something big and great. Why not begin today?
