Forget To-Do Lists, What’s on Your ‘To-Be’ List?
In this episode of Being YOU!, we explore the concept of moving beyond constant doing and embracing the power of being.
Shakespeare’s timeless quote, “To be or not to be: that is the question?” still resonates in today’s fast-paced world, where many people feel stuck in a rut, lacking direction and purpose.
The key to breaking free from this cycle lies in shifting our mindset and focusing on our purpose and why.
While financial stability is important, many individuals find that it doesn’t bring them the fulfillment they seek. The feeling of incompleteness persists despite external success.
This is because we tend to prioritize doing over being, leading to a sense of soul sickness or ‘soulaemia’.
This episode encourages listeners to shift their focus and thus transition from a human doing to a human being.
The emphasis is on inner change rather than seeking external solutions.
The job or circumstances won’t change; it’s the individual who needs to change.
To facilitate this shift, the episode introduces the concept of a “To-Be” list.
Listeners are encouraged to grab a pen and paper and write down three “I want to be” statements that align with building character and values.
Examples include being kinder, more compassionate, or a better listener.
This exercise helps bring balance into daily life and serves as a constant reminder of who they aspire to be.
By prioritizing being and incorporating character development into their lives, individuals can experience a deeper sense of fulfillment and purpose.
