Walking will get me there
But in the end
I will never know where “there” is
Unless I stop
And just be that which I am trying to do
Doing is an infinite trudge
But being is suddenly arriving
Being is becoming
In fact
Being is already done
And it’s so relaxing to feel the energy suddenly surge as you are not leaning and reaching but instead allowing and accepting
*I read a book recently called “The Last Word on Power” there is a lot of good stuff in there but the biggest shift came from the realisation that it is not the “doing” that gets you anywhere, it is the “being”
And the being is what must always change to become something or someone else and therefore become different
At warp speed
The doing is just the peripheral baggage
We have all read this before and as Yoda says “there is no try do or not do” but what I think is better is “be or not be”
When I’m trying and striving and things aren’t going well I stop now and just be
I be the poet
I be the writer
I be the runner
I be the healthy person
I be the publisher/editor/creator of a magazine
I be the author of dozens of best sellers that are yet to come yes, but I inhabit that headspace now
I be whatever it is that I am striving to do
Now
Because in the end
We need to stop doing all these things
And just be
Does this make sense?
It does to me
Fundamental
Groundbreaking
Consciousness shifting
Sense
“Being is becoming” powerful words my friend 🔥 we are all of it and everything is already in us 🙏
So true ❤️
❤️
We are human *beings*…not human*doings*.
That’s something that resonated with me very recently, which I would like to implement at my core. It’s tiring living with expectations all the time, and disappointing yourself when life doesn’t go as you hoped. Far better to simply try your best, but let life flow and just be…
Enjoyed the read. Being & Doing. An ongoing problem for mr taylor 🙂 I’m too much of a doer. Become bored. Much my doing is reading & writing, and a compulsory 30-min walk daily. TV rarely attracts me, I lost the desire. I blame growing-older as well as time. Days seemed shorter, certainly day-light in months of winter. Enough of this musing. Thanks for this thread of writings — yours. Happy Friday! StaySafe😷
Thanks Lawrence, have a great Christmas
Thanks! Enjoy the Holidays
