Thoughts About Being

I recently did a talk at a networking lunch about "Being".

You might wonder...what is "Being" and what does it have to do with me?

My talk was titled, "The Art of Being...Discovering Your True Self".

It was well-received, and if nothing else, it changed people's perception of me.

My goal was to change their perspective about them. That may have happened to some extent; I don't know.

What I do know, is that the more we identify with who we really are and who we are being, the more power we have to conduct our lives in the way we want, and not by the "seat of our pants" as the saying goes.

Being is about living intentionally, from a place of knowing...a place or position to come from.

I'll be talking a lot about this in the future, and I want my readers and listeners to join me in the conversation.

As we ponder our life's purpose, it's really helpful to know who we are at our core, so we can dial into the inner compass and be lead from there. Most of us are lead by the media. It is really very sad, because the power to govern ourselves, communities and countries starts from who we are being.

Consider this...start to write down your thoughts about yourself. I want to encourage you to get quiet, sit by yourself for a period of time, take a few deep breaths to slow down your mind, and let the adjectives download. If nothing comes to you, look up the word "adjectives" and find some examples. Ask AI to identify some positive adjectives that might describe a human being. Start to develop your own declaration of who you are. This is at the core of living a life of purpose and meaning.

Once you start creating your own declaration of who you are, start to read it daily, out loud. This will help you internalize the declaration. Keep in mind that what you are writing down are not affirmations. They are truths about who you are at your core. You are love, you are peace, you are patience...whatever comes to your mind. They are not things like, I am rich, I am a world traveler (unless you are) or any other fabrications of reality.

I wonder if you have any thoughts about Being. Being is a state of mind for me. It is a place to live from, think from, believe from, and act from.

If you know anyone who would like to hear a talk about The Art of Being, reach out to me. I am happy to do Zoom presentations or in-office team presentations in a corporate or sales setting.

Also, feel free to send me some feedback right here.

Until next time, enjoy being you!
