Being Busy seems to be a constant theme in the everyday vernacular of people…to simply be still and present to the moment SEEMS a wasteful endeavour.
What is in fact a Wasteful undertaking is being caught up in the act of doing something that does not align to our mission, character strengths and ultimately one’s legacy.
Being and Doing are intertwined. Let’s first examine what being entails.
Being: is a mode of un-doing whereby the art of reflection and contemplation are considered in silence, that is, without the noise of others opinions or the latest self help book designed to give you the ‘best advice’.
Being has no consideration for advice but on the voice that resides within.
That voice is ‘non-thinking’ and non-judgmental and is non-ego.
The true voice aligns with the heart and mind to provide full clarity and alignment to one’s mission and pursuit of activities
The act of Doing is predicated on a strong daily practice of contemplation and the space afforded to undertake tasks at a high level. It is chesling “Chasing”? the ultimate focus that will enable one to fulfill their legacy on a daily basis
The third element not yet mentioned is the ‘Becoming’. The act of being and doing produce the act of Becoming.
Becoming what? Becoming that best version of yourself by first releasing that potential that resides within you.
If one’s best self is determined and fashioned by what others say, think and do, then one’s identity attaches itself to the ‘False Self’
Becoming the best version of yourself is in fact living by, IN…and through the True Self.
This is the integrated person who does not separate being from doing, and flourishes when the times are tough and indeed when the times are wonderful.
Becoming is a constant process of refinement and betterment as a human being with that divine spark to ultimately become the True Self.
The key to Becoming is constant refinement of one’s manner of thinking coupled with the instillment of meaningful daily habits that are the cornerstone of any degree of achievement.
Quit being Busy and start Becoming the integrated human being who Flourishes in the act of doing.
