Human Being or Human Doing?

Do you feel like your life is always under pressure? Welcome to the club. While life may be more convenient than it was 100 years ago—with indoor plumbing and electricity—it’s certainly not simpler. Despite the advances in technology, the advent of the Internet, and smartphones in our pockets, why do our lives feel even more complicated?

It seems like the pressure to accomplish more is greater than ever. Do more. Achieve more. Buy a bigger house. Earn more. But where does it end? When do we get to stop doing and start being? Last time I checked, we are called human beings, not human doings.

So often, we rush from one task to the next, always thinking ahead, without taking the time to enjoy the present. Yet, our days are made up of countless small, simple moments. Instead of constantly looking forward to the next task, take the time to appreciate what you’re doing right now - even if it feels mundane. Life is about more than just ticking off a to-do list—it’s about enjoying the little things and making the most of every moment.
