"If you think your life is about doingness, you do not understand what you are about. Your soul doesn't care what you do for a living--and when your life is over, neither will you. Your soul cares only about what you're being while you're doing whatever you're doing. It is a state of beingness the soul is after, not a state of doingness."

This is partially why I resist telling people what I do for a living. It makes it easier for me to just BE, because it's harder for them to put me in a pigeon-hole!
you have quotes around this post...is it yours? It is very much the "being" rather than the "doing" and not just at work....
This is such a beautiful quote. Worded so simply but containing such a powerful message. Thoughts to live our lives by. Thank you for sharing it.

I could do with applying that being feeling to just about EVERYTHING I do at the moment. Thanks Mel.
