Be On the Mountain
by Joshua Millburn
Last February I had an epiphany (albeit a small epiphany as far as epiphanies are
concerned). I was sitting in a coffeehouse writing a piece of fiction, something that had
something to do with my life. Somehow it turned into 47 pages about my life and ended
up being a pseudo journal entry instead of a piece of fiction.
One theme recurred throughout those 47 pages: living in the moment. Or, said
another way, enjoying the moment. It’s what Rob Bell refers to as “being on the
mountain.” If you don’t know who Rob Bell is, he’s a hip, cool, Gen-X, new-age Christian
guy with whom you’d like to have a coffee and a conversation (irrespective of your
religious leanings). I am not particularly religious, but I enjoy his perspective.
Rob tells a story about Moses’ journey to the top of a mountain. I’ll omit most of
the religious and historical details for the sake of attenuation (and those details aren’t
relevant to the moral of this story anyway). In the story, God tells Moses to travel to the
top of the mountain. Then, in what is an ostensibly redundant (and odd) request, God
commands Moses to ‘be on the mountain.’
To which, I imagine, Moses was like, ‘um, yeah, I heard you the first time. You
already said to go to the top of the mountain.’ But Moses didn’t get the point right away.
God didn’t want Moses to go to the top of the mountain and then start thinking about
what he needed to do next. God didn’t want Moses to start worrying about how he was
going to get down, or worry about whether or not he turned off the lights before he left
the house, or worry about what bills needed to be paid this week. God just wanted Moses
to be on the mountain, to enjoy the moment.
The moral? Enjoy the moment.
How? Don’t spend your time in perpetual planning.
Or perpetual worry.
Or perpetual whatever.
Instead, just enjoy the moment.
Notice what all of your efforts have done for you.
They got you to the top of the mountain, after all.
Just take a moment and be on the mountain.
Be on the mountain.
Be.
That’s what I want. I am committed to being on the mountain, to enjoying my
life.
That doesn’t mean I don’t plan. I just enjoy the planning process more. It doesn’t
mean I don’t work hard. I just enjoy working hard, whether it’s writing or leading
people.
When you enjoy it, it’s not work anyway. In fact, I avoid calling it work altogether.
I call it my mission.
How about when you’re doing something you dislike? Or worse, something you
hate? Ask yourself, how can I do this and enjoy it too? The only way to get a better
answer is to ask a better quality question. So ask yourself, how can I enjoy this? You
will get better results if you do this.
I get better results when I enjoy the process. Better health. Better relationships.
More growth. Greater contribution. A better life.
Don’t dwell on the past. Don’t worry about the future. Just be on the mountain.
