Doing Being

MAP

Have you taken the time to enjoy life today – to just be?

It’s difficult for you to stop doing, to stay busy in order to avoid feeling some ways – for each of you that feeling may be different.

Take a good look at why you are busy.  Have you packed your life full for a good reason, a really good reason, like what you are doing is moving you forward towards your dreams?

Or better yet – everything you are doing is living your dream.

How much of what you are doing is just filling time and avoiding something else?  Do you even know or recognize what you may be avoiding?

If you want a rest or break – then take one.  Doing something to fill your break time is not a rest – but it does fill an inner urge to keep busy.

How much do you tie your worthiness to how busy you are?

Do you not have a saying “idle hands are the work of the devil”?

I tell you this is false for there is no devil.  But if you want to look at devil it is the word lived backwards.

A life lived backwards is the devil and a live backwards is evil.

Do you think that is a coincidence?

When you do not live life then you are not the best you can be, when you do not live life you are at your worst.

But something got lost in the translation – you have mistaken busy and doing as living.

They are not.

You have mistaken rest and idleness and being as evil, not living.

Untrue.

Some of your best movements of feeling the most alive can come when doing no thing.

And some of your worst moments come when you are too busy to stop even when you are dying inside to do so.

Stop what you are doing right now and take a breath – let go, relax.

The most important doing you can take part in right now is to be.

Practice doing being.

You are scared of that I know.  But this too is something you must learn.

Being does not mean you do nothing.  Being does not mean nothing gets done.

The better you become at doing being the more you will see your life come into alignment – the alignment and purpose you now seek.

You know who you are.  Start being that.

Allow your doing to come from that place of being who you are.

Take a look at all those things you wish, you know you don’t want to be doing.

I tell you that you know this is not doing being.

You are most afraid of doing nothing, that if you do being you will sit there forever like a lump on a log as you say.

Your fear of being lazy is starting to show.  Let it come forward – and let yourself experience being lazy if you want.

That is your quickest path to letting the fear go.

Are you afraid of being lazy and not doing anything?

Or are you more afraid of enjoying it too much?  Now where do you go?

I tell you this fear is not to be contained or controlled – let it go.  It is of your own creation and doing.

Once you relax into just being, to doing your being, you will find your own groove, your natural flow.

You will live from the inside out rather than the other way around.

You will accomplish more than you can dream for you will have stopped struggling with yourself.

The quickest route to a new direction is to stop and turn.  Take the long roundabout curve if you wish but it is more difficult in the end and a longer road.

The fastest way to stop your insanity is to let yourself be lazy so you can fully come into your being.

And so the magic begins.
