Human Doing or Human Being?

I choose to sit in silence while the world rushes to nowhere.

There was a time I measured my worth by how much I got done.

To-do lists. Deliverables. Meetings. Checkmarks.

I thought: If I produce, I matter.

And if I don’t — I disappear.

I became a human doing.

Efficient. Productive. Impressive, even.

But I was exhausted. Disconnected.

Eating to soothe. Achieving to survive.

Always in motion, rarely in presence.

Because stopping felt like dying.

Like I’d fall behind.

Or worse — like I’d feel what was actually there under the surface.

But life, real life, doesn’t happen in the next achievement.

It happens in the pause.

In the messy middle.

In the breath between effort and surrender.

I’m not here to glorify doing nothing.

I still love building, creating, expressing.

But not from lack. Not from fear.

Not from trying to prove I deserve to exist.

Now I choose being first.

From that space, I do.

But it’s no longer about survival.

It’s about truth.

So today I ask myself —

Not: What did I do today?

But: Was I fully there? Was I with myself?

Did I let myself be, even if nothing got finished?

That’s where real power lives.

Not in the output —

but in the presence behind it.
