I Learnt About the Difference Between Being & Doing…

It is almost like they are two parallel roads that offer journeys to what might initially appear as the same destination, but are propelled by different forces.

Being is fuelled by faith.

Being occurs with the knowledge that what I am doing has been done and completed perfectly, I only finish the physical part of it

Being is proceeding with the confidence and assurance that the good I want to bring into the world is already here

Being does not act from a feeling of lack or inadequacy

You don’t “be” because you feel as though you are not enough and you are trying to catch up. You “be” because you know that you are infinite, and you want to express that infinite nature.

Hence being is devoid of fear, and full of love

What separates being and doing the exact action, is the way you are thinking about that action. The action does define you in someway, because it makes a statement about who you are, but the definition depends on whether you are being, or just doing.

Doing looks at the success or failure of that action as the end of the journey.

Being knows that that action is just the beginning of a journey of creating the self that you want to share with the world.

There is nothing like failure, because the intention to express oneself is all that matters, and the perseverance until that self is expressed or created in the way one desires, is what is important.

That is why being can focus and work for one hour and be satisfied, but doing, even after 1000 hours of sweat, will still feel inadequate, because the source of satisfaction is an empty well. It is one that will continue to encourage the illusion of thirst, want, lack, it is one that is dependent on the whims of society.

Whereas being has that well of everlasting life, from which one drinks and thirsts no more.

So what you must do, is take a small step forward in faith, bearing this in mind, everyday.

Set your intention, check it, scrutinise it for any hint of wanting to please, as opposed to wanting to create pleasure, or good.

You want to build a business? Yes it takes you sitting down and working, but where being and doing differ, is that being knows that you do not work alone.

Being knows that God, through His angels, through your intuition, and every other form of inspiration, is working it with you. The act of working is not proving that you are enough. It is stating the fact that you are infinite as a creator.

Doing on the other hand worries - did I work enough? Did I write it perfectly, is it good enough? It does not see God in anything, and thinks it is by its own efforts and strength that anything can be accomplished. So all it sees are faults, gaps, ‘imperfection’.

All of the things you want are great, but these great desires require great faith, require great use of your spiritual abilities, and a great awareness of who you are.

Don’t forget that any exercise without God is futile.

Thus you most move with a clear plan, and an awareness that God is with you, helping you create AND execute this plan.

You do not walk alone, but when you choose not to engage God on the journey, you will falsely believe that this is a lonely path.

It is not.

The hosts of heaven walk this path with you.

Those assigned to help you, to teach and mentor you, to assist you, are all here, always here, and ready to bring success, as defined by God, to crown every endeavour. Your thoughts are powerful beyond your wildest dreams.

So move forward with that faith and determination, knowing that indeed your thanksgiving of this year will include a list of your accomplishments.

Do it a bit at a time, build your strength slowly and steadily on the solid foundation of faith, and you will get better at being everyday.

Banish worry and anxiety from your mind this year. They have no place, they cannot come with you on this new part of your journey.

Indeed this is your year of joy and freedom.

It will be joyful throughout and you will feel the freedom, even as you embrace the responsibility that comes with it.

Think about each prayer as a fortification of your strength and abilities to do and accomplish ALL.

Note that everybody around you, spirit and human, has been placed in your life, not to judge you, but to assist you.

When you can accept that, this journey will be much smoother for you.
