Be-Do-Have

Do you recognize this statement?

I’ll ________ when ___________.

fill in the first blank with:

be happy
travel more
relax
have fun

fill in the second blank with:

hit the lottery
retire
leave this job
the kids grow up


There’s a problem with this kind of thinking.
By postponing ‘being’ until you ‘have’ is not only backwards,
but is also not guaranteed.
No one can express this fact better than an oncology patient.
They’re often filled with regrets of yesterday
and an unrealized bucket list of tomorrow.

It’s not about being at your peak,
feeling vibrant 100 percent of the time.
That’s not a reality in a world of free will and human emotions.
It’s more a mindset.

To change the old paradigm from

Have - Do - Be

“When I (have) money, then I’ll travel (do), and I’ll (be) happy”

To

Be - Do - Have

You are NOW fulfilling your purpose!
Creating your life in alignment with who you are.
Bypassing regrets of missed opportunities.

Expressing this freedom brings it’s own rewards, naturally. ❀
