The Difference Between Being and Having

Hello all.
There is a difference between being and having. Being is a state of mind, while having are the effects of being. Being is something you are, it is your essence, having is just stuff you acquired because of who you were. For example a real salespersons job is to sell. That is who they are. They sell. If they are good at what they do, they are rewarded with money. Money is what they now have, but it isn’t what they are. They are a salesperson first, and the money comes second. That is why they say “man makes the money, but money never makes the man.”
When you focus on being, and who you are, the secondary things like money come along. I don’t understand why people work so hard for money, and forget about who they really are. When you work hard for the money and who you are being is lost, isn’t that the same thing as someone trying to find meaning in life?

Being is when you know that what you are doing is in alignment with who you really are. When it is out of alignment, then you are not “being” you. Your emotions will guide you in telling you if you are in alignment or not. For example, if something you are doing feels like a major struggle and your health is in jeopardy from what you are doing, there is a good chance you are not being you. If however you feel a strong good energetic feeling, aliveness, and goodness in your body there is a good chance you are being you and what you are doing is alignment with who you are. You have the capacity to be the real you, when you sit down and listen to the inner voice that is present in all of us. You will begin to be aware of amazing and awesome experiences when you tap into this energy of yourself. Opportunites, events, and the right people will manifest because you have focused on being.

Being is primary, having is secondary.

Be Do Have

Hello all.
I'd like to introduce the concept of be, do, and have. First I want to say that, a lot of people have this idea backwards. Many people believe that you have to first DO (take action) in order to HAVE (acquire something) and what you BECOME (who you are) is simply no that important, and is a result of what happened prior to doing and having.

Thus The wrong order is:
1. Do
2. Have
3. Be


Now, let's reverse this idea. The correct order is:
1. BE
2. DO
3. HAVE

The reason this is the correct order is because way before you acquire something "have" you have to "be" that person that acquires it. Way before you "do" what you need to do to get that thing, you have to "be" that person. This is how you stay in touch with the real you and lead a more happier and successful life.

Many people get caught up trying to do all these wonderful and great things to acquire items, and external things like recognition, money, status etc. These are all ego needs. What these people don't recognize is if they forget step 1 and don't know who they are "Being" then the results at the end of the day don't really feel that great. In other words if someone tried very hard to make a lot of money and worked at something he or she didn't enjoy, then that person can't possibly know who they are yet. Thus even if they receive what they are looking for, a sense of who they are has been lost even further, leading to more unhappiness, until the individual finally understand the correct order.

When you focus on who you are (be) and take proper actions steps (do) then you will aquire (have) what you desire.

Before you can have, you must do, before you do, you must BE.
Focus on who you are, and the rest will take of itself, the do and have takes care of itself.
