Introducing Spark Notes, intended to spark conversations within yourself and others!
Remember the process that lives in the process–awareness, practice and mastery.
Being on the Purpose Path is a continual learning path. When we set the intention to surrender to our purpose paths, we are open to the process of continual learning.
Continual learning is a key requirement on the Purpose Path. If you are like me, you have hit some stops on the Purpose Path that seemed familiar but you had a new experience with the stop. I felt frustrated when this happened because I felt that I already invested a lot of time and healing at this stop and it did not need revisiting.
I was reminded about what I call the process in the process. Whatever we are learning as continual learners is in a process to mastery. It could be something that is coming into our awareness like the first time I visited those stops. Then there is the time TBD to practice with our new knowledge. This is when the knowledge becomes personal for us. Lastly, after a lot of practice, we enter into mastery. Malcolm Gladwell shares that mastery takes 10,000 hours, not of living but of practicing! That’s a lot of hours.
Remembering this allows me to be graceful with myself and others. It requires a daily practice and does not come intuitively to me. More times than I would care to admit, I’ve tried to rush the learning process of myself and others. Not intentionally, but nevertheless, that is the experience that I participated in creating.
When I remember the process that lives in, not visits, the process, I am spacious, expansive, graceful and respectful with myself and others.
