In this episode, we discuss how DOing the "right" things is very different from BEing someone who wants to. We discuss how this applies to our spiritual well-being as well as to our physical health.
Doing things and checking boxes is NOT the same as BEING someone who naturally chooses to.
The feelings driving what we are DOing MATTER.
We may be doing all the "right" things, but if it's driven from frustration or resentment, we will have a very different experience than if we are doing them from love and hope and desire. Ultimately, our feelings behind all our actions is what generates our results.
For example, it's easier to say a prayer, than it is to BE someone who is engaged in prayer.
It's easier to skip sugar for a day, than to BE someone who doesn't even want it.
Our goal is to BE rather than to DO.
As we BE someone who chooses supportive actions from a place of desire and hope and love, THAT is when the actions become part of who we are, and we receive the real benefits of DOing.
We are all a work in progress, and I believe we are all doing our best (even if our best is terrible).
"Do the best you can until you know better; when you know better, do better." -Maya Angelou
