Being?

What is the "being" part of the equation -

Be + Do = Have

I think we are pretty clear on the "Do" and "Have" parts of the equation. For the most part we know what we want to have, and given a little time to plan it out we can figure out what we need to "do" to make that happen. Don't get me wrong, I see plenty of people who are stuck in these parts of the equations as well, but with a little coaching and a little willingness this part is easily overcome.

It is the "being" part that is so elusive. It is hard for most people to even get a grasp on the "being" part, which is so interesting because the "being" part just IS. We already are that which we are trying to figure out, trying to connect with, trying to be. This is the ultimate re-minder because it is simply remembering that which we already are.

Sure there are things you can "do" to connect with "being" like meditation or contemplation, but stop for a minute and re-cognize that there is nothing to figure out, nothing to do, nothing to connect with. The "being" part of the equation already IS.

Who am I?
