Sometimes I meet people who have decided they want to 'BE' a something. They think they want to 'BE' a writer or a healer or famous or something else. Myself? I think they're confused.
I mean, the Khardashians (sp?) wanted to 'BE' famous ( to be wealthy and have attention) and it worked. I hope that works for them.
But mostly in life, what works, in fact, is DOING what matters to you.
If writing matters to you, write.
If building affordable housing matters to go, build affordable housing.
If learning how we heal, and the how to help individuals heal, matters to you, go learn and then practice that.
The funny thing is, if you do what matters to you,and work at it, and care about doing it effectively and well, for the SAKE of contributing that quality to the world, there is a good chance you will , in the process, become something.
So many of us get mixed up, set our sights on some really fun eye candy. Then our little ego starts to sing, chanting 'Oh, everyone would think us so cool, if they saw us do that.' But I've rarely seen that blossom into real. Into effective. Into lasting value.
So go . Go write and study and practice and learn and care. And before you know it, all of your remarkable writing or studying or practicing or caring will grow you into your self.
