HUMAN DOING

What do I have to do today? What tasks must I accomplish? What's my plan of action? My objectives. My obligations. My responsibility.

No I am not advocating negligence. After all, what is adulthood without its commensurate responsibilities. Does that define us though?

Do you have a resume?

Recently, I gave a quick biography to a student, whose assignment was to give a speech about someone's life.

Aside from the pertinent details of birthplace, schooling, employment, most of the other aspects involved my accomplishments. All my doings. Like ingredients on a bottle. But I've talked about that before; humans as products.

Who am I really. All my doings surely reflect my being. My values, convictions, priorities.

Did my being match up to my doings?

If I reviewed how I had relayed the story of my life, clear areas emerged: faith, family, community, creativity, music and business. I didn't mind that to be honest. The definitions of my human BEING.

So in the midst of your human DOINGS today, why not take a moment and consider the human being you are. And how you are outworking that in your time/space continuum.

Until next time.
