I particularly love: “… the bottom line is to generate from the root of our Being the tasks of Doing in the world. Being comes first, the foundation. Then the doing, the action.
By doing the doing, by taking the action, even imperfect action, we create shifts.”

I’ve been impressed by the huge return that even modest and imperfect actions can lead to. We’re stirring the pot, moving the energies around us and in us when we finally take that step forward, especially if it’s not so easy for us (especially for us reticent ones).

When I said that, about wanting to focus on what’s mine to do, I think I meant it almost as a prayer – that I may be able to hold steady to my own purpose, my own gift, my own tasks – on what I am here to do. I sometimes feel I need blinders to keep from being continually pulled off course by all the distractions and attractions out there. Steady focus is not easy. Yet – life is short. So let’s all keep reminding each other.

Thank you for doing your part.

This blogging challenge was just made for you. What better way for us to sample your work, your voice and style. It is an opportunity that stretches us out of our comfort zones into our own unique greatness. Thanks for entering this challenge and allowing me to see the greatness that you have to share.

All the best,
Kevin

There are two sides to this, though — people who are doing what is theirs to do, and people who pretend they are but don’t. If you commit to being who you are, you have to actually show up and take the actions. Showing up is more than half of it — so, since you’re already there, why not put in the effort and make it a satisfying day?

Just some additional thoughts. Thanks for a great post!

Simply show up, Bobbye. Focus on what is yours to do, and be on the page. You may not be shouting your vision and your message, but you’re here …

and you’re heard.
