Being VS Doing

My life is a miracle.

So I went to my school’s counseling center to discuss it this morning.

I walked away feeling like a huge weight had been lifted.

As I spoke to her about my past and my future and my anxiety filled present, she gave me a few observations that may give a clue as to why my circumstances are the way that they are, why I am such an overachiever and why I have yet to wrap my arms around what I perceive to be success.

This one paper does not define my success as a human being.

One job does not define my future.

One season of my life does not dictate my destiny.

I have defined my worth as a person by the things I do and not by who I am.

I will try to practice the art of being successful at…BEING and not DOING.

I have a lot to think about before my next meeting with her.

My headache just went away.
