Focus on Being, Not Becoming

To many of us are trying to become something rather than being something. - This one I’m writing directly to myself because I am an incredibly future tense oriented type of person. Some people live in the past others live in the present, and others like me focus on the future. I think we all have different variations of all 3. - Now I’m not gonna sit here and write some cliche about living for the present or in the moment or whatever cause quite frankly I don’t believe that, however I think there is definitely something to be said for being something you want to become. - I don’t mean that if you want to be a neurosurgeon then you should start operating on people without training. In fact please don’t. What I do mean is that there’s lots of character traits that we can aspire to have in the future that we should focus on building now. - Oftentimes were so focused on career or relationship related goals that we forget to make the goals like be a kinder person, be more patient, be more loving etc. - Notice these are all present tense forms of the verb to be, because they are things you can be doing right now. A lot of times we skew our focus so that the main goals of what we want to become, trump the ones of what we should be and as a result many of the priorities and values we should have fall by the wayside. - Focus more on what you are being and what you’re becoming will fall into place. - Be blessed and stay stoked 😎🤙 - • • • • • • #discoverphilippines #passionpassport #visitphilippines #eclectic_shotz #earthfocus #travelphilippines#adventureculture #nature #earthpix #neverstopexploring #stayandwander #travel #awesomeearth #itsmorefuninthephilippinesh House #sonyalpha #soft_vision #roamtheplanet #beautifuldestinations #bestvacations #ourplanetdaily #philippines🇵🇭
