Everyone is doing the best they can according to THEIR map of the world!
The simplest questions are the most profound. Where were you born? Where is your home? Where are you going? What are you doing? Think about these once in a while and watch your answers change.
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....
Since everything you do is something, it's impossible to be doing nothing.
The secret of happiness is something to do.
This is NOT some stale old chore which you have got to 'do'.
The true beauty of realizing your true nature is in the freshness,
peace and deep bodily relaxation which touches to the core of your
being, flows into your everyday life and bursts forth naturally
into blossoming from within itself. Without you 'doing' a thing
about any of it.
It is very important to note that this is NOT a limited
meditation 'practice' or 'technique'.
When Doing becomes infused with the timeless quality of being that is success.
Start by doing what is necessary, then do what is possible, and suddenly, you are doing the impossible.
"How can you come to know yourself? Never by thinking, always by doing.
Try to do your duty, and you'll now right away what you amount to. And what
is your duty? Whatever the day calls for."
~~Goethe~~
When you have decided that a thing ought to be done and are doing it, never avoid bein seen doing it, though many shall form an unfavorable opinion about it. For if it is not right to do it, avoid doing the thing; but if it is right, why are you afraid of those who shall find fault wrongly?
In the true order of things one does not do something in order to be happy—one is happy and, hence, does something. One does not do some things in order to be compassionate, one is compassionate and, hence, acts in a certain way.
If you find out what it is you love to do and give your whole life to it, then there is no contradiction, and in that state your being is your doing.
Some days, it’s not about passion and courage. It’s not about heroism and drama. It’s not about slaying dragons or conjuring exotic visions. Some days, it’s not about transcendence or transformation, not about being better than anyone who came before you.
Some days, it’s simply about delicious acts of doing simple things, simply.
Who talks by silence, does the most.
Flow with whatever may happen, & let your mind be free. Stay centered by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate.
The more we do, the more we can do; the more busy we are, the more leisure we have.
Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait.
Think nothing and do nothing without a purpose directed to God, for to journey without direction is wasted effort.
When you do things from your soul,
you feel a river moving in you, a joy.
When actions come from another section,
the feeling disappears.
"How" is always more important that "what." See if you can give much more attention to the doing than to the result that you want to achieve through it.
True happiness comes from the joy of deeds well done, the zest of creating things new.
