Life is like painting:

Once you have collected all the colours, put the canvas on the board, layed down the right tassels and are ready to paint, you look at the clock and think: 'did i take such a long time, just to get ready?' As is it in life.

In life it isn't always: you get up and go!

You stumble a few times. Don't succeed a few times. Get up a few more times and than finally, when you think you got what-is-supposed-to-be the meaning of life you look at your age and think: what happened to all those years? Where did the time gó??

Well, it is just the preparation that is so very important. You see, once you think: well, let me just paint and start up and later i'll get what i need, you might find that this will totally mess up the relaxation of enjoying making the painting. Since you now might have 'problems to solve' along the way. ('Where is the red? I am sure i have taken the read with me! Had i better not start with the hart, but taken another organ, or skin or something...')

So: time might fly whlie preparing for some relaxation, but do not forget to enjoy the moment to the fullest! You are at the right place, at the right time, and no matter how long it took you to get there: the time you arrive there is perfectly fine! You have done your preparations and now it is time to fly...
