Time's suspension isn't just a lucky accident - it's a skill we can cultivate. Just as a musician must practice scales before playing symphonies, we must practice the art of pausing, of noticing, of being fully present in our moments of enjoyment. Many walk through life holding their breath in anxiety, waiting for some future moment when they'll finally feel ready to exhale and enjoy life.
The irony is that those who accumulate more - more wealth, more achievements, more possessions - often find themselves less able to access genuine enjoyment. Without practicing the art of presence, additional resources simply create additional noise. The pause for enjoyment must be intentional, cultivated like any other skill through dedicated practice.
Peace isn't a prize awarded at the end of struggle - it's a practice we choose daily, moment by moment. Like learning to play an instrument or mastering a craft, finding peace requires consistent dedication, even (perhaps especially) when it feels awkward or unnatural. Many wait for external circumstances to grant them permission to feel peace, not realising that peace is a muscle we can strengthen through regular use.
This journey often requires unlearning as much as learning. We must shed the belief that enjoyment is something we earn rather than something we practice. Just as a dancer must practice fluidity until it becomes natural, we must practice receiving joy until it becomes our default state, regardless of circumstances.
Our capacity to bloom, to shine, to express our inner light - these aren't traits we're born with fully formed. They're capabilities we develop through consistent practice. Like a photographer learning to see light differently or a painter learning to mix colours, we must learn to recognise and cultivate our own brightness.
Too often, we treat enjoyment as something that will arrive with the next achievement or acquisition. But those who've mastered the art of joy know it's more like developing perfect pitch - it requires attention, practice, and the willingness to start where you are, with what you have.
This integration of pause, peace, and radiance creates a choreography of conscious enjoyment. It's not about waiting for perfect conditions - it's about practicing under all conditions. Like a musician who plays scales every day or a writer who shows up to the blank page regardless of inspiration, we must show up to the practice of enjoyment consistently.
The beauty of treating enjoyment as a practice is that it removes the pressure of perfection. We don't expect to master a musical instrument in a day; similarly, we can approach the art of enjoying life as a long-term discipline, one that deepens and enriches with time. The key is to begin now, with whatever circumstances we find ourselves in, rather than waiting for some mythical future moment when enjoyment will magically become easier.
