One. You know when Rocky gets all that training done during some inspiring music? Or when they paint the orphanage or something like that during Sister Act 2? Or Hugh Grant’s tedious walk through the seasons in Notting Hill? Or these guys: 90% (or more) of life takes place during the montage. Here’s the hard truth: you have to live it in real time, not montage time. You have to do all work, not just little snippets. You have to build relationships over months and years. You have to experience the slowness of seasons. You have to wash the dishes. When you’re stuck, you have to live through every minute of your own personal Groundhog Day over and over again until you get unstuck.
I call the ad nauseum living in the in-betweens. Cleaning the toilet daily, sink drainers, litter boxes, in betweens. I do these cheerfully because I reward myself with play as it fits in in between the in-betweens. Know what I mean, jelly bean? See what I did right there? That’s play in its simplicity.
