You are Not What You Do...

In a fast paced, constantly changing world, it's important to take a moment, every now and then, and remind ourselves:

I am not what I do.

You are not what you do. You are not your business, your degrees, your social status, your marital status, your household income. You are not any of those things. Why?

Because if you ARE what you do, when what you do goes away, who are you? No one. If you are what you have, what happens when your material possessions go away? You no longer exist. If you are your marital, parenthood, or social status, what happens when those things are no longer a major focus in your life? You no longer have a focus.

It's important to get to the very heart of who you are. Who you are transcends what you do or have. Who you are is and was and will be forever. Life changes but who you are a divine piece of existence never will.

Remember: You are not what you do or have. You transcend all of that. Take time to just be.
