Being vs Doing:
It’s About Who You Are, Not What You Do
One of my most used phrases is “I’ll just…”—as in “I’ll just finish this, then take a break” or “I’ll just make these calls, then spend time with family.” Sound familiar? These good intentions rarely work out because there’s always something else to do. For years, I prioritised doing above being, believing the work I do was more important than the person I am. Facing my own mortality changed this perspective. How much more could you create if you become all you’re meant to be? What if creation became simply a by-product of your being, rather than your reason for being?
