If we are human beings then our growth will happen in our times and experiences of being, not doing.  I did not get this message.  The message I got was that I had to justify my existence by what I accomplish.  In fact, if I could not prove my productiveness then I was worth very little.  This resulted in pressure to get good grades, be a good employee, follow directions of my elders and people in authority.  Don’t get me wrong these are all good things, but it was my motivation and my mindset that I now realize let me to a place of emptiness.  If I measure my worth by my doing then I miss out on the being part.  It is in who I am being while I am doing that I need to pay close attention to.  It is in who I am being despite what I am doing that I need to be in alignment with God on. The end results do not justify the means if who I am being goes contrary to who I am at my core.  I need to connect with a power greater than me consistently so that I can be reminded of who I am and who I want to be and the best I can be.  My prayer for us today is that we take a close look at who we are being when we are doing to see if it is in alignment with our true selves.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
