doing versus being

28. December 2007 by admin.

Doing characterizes most of our life. Do more to have more to be more happy. Is it true though? Is doing more bringing us more bliss and satisfaction? We think that we have no other choice living in this society, but to keep up with the fast pace, the competition, the increased productivity. You stretch yourself and push yourself hard to achieve!Well, I discovered that what brings me more satisfaction and happiness is being, rather then doing. Being in the moment, savoring the experience, savoring the many ways life chooses to express itself. Being in the moment makes me happy with less, and the need for doing and achieving and accomplishments diminishes.Of course, this doesn’t mean being a couch potato. It means following your bliss, living out your passions on a daily basis. This is what fuels us. Do something because you get pleasure and meaning from it, not because you need to make more money and buy more things (unless this is your passion). We are spiritual beings, we were given gifts and talents and feelings to use them and express them into the world. If we bring our unique contribution to the world, we will in turn have all we need.When you feel the pulse of your life, and try to live in accordance with that, you will start being in the flow. Everything will become effortless. When you want something to realize in your life, think: Is it another way to obtain this, that will require less effort and bring me more of what I want?
