Is what I am doing what I am being or becoming?

We humans are pretty easy to train. We get an idea in our mind and then think about it and eventually we’ll act about it if we think it long enough.

The ‘be’ generally comes before the ‘do’. When we want to change something in our life, we think how/who we want to be and then begin to do who we want to be. It can take a lot of thinking and pondering to get it into our head that we can become what we want to become, but we are trainable. We think the thought – make the plan – get a vision. Then begin to act on the thought.

It’s like learning to read. We see the letter, hear how it’s pronounced, then we practice pronouncing. In time and after practice, we become a reader, and the more we practice and read the stronger we become in learning new words and reading.

As we ‘be’ in our minds and hearts what we want to ‘do’ in our lives, then before long we’ll be doing what we want to be, and we’ll become what we wanted to do.
