Now, having failed at something important to me, I realize that I don’t have to do only one thing. I don’t even have to do anything for rest of my life. I may coach for five years and say, “I’m done.”

What my failure as a mystery writer taught me is that I have choices about what I do, and I’m never locked into any one thing. That was a gift I could never pay for or find anywhere else.

Realizing vs. Jumping to Conclusions

It’s easy to “jump to conclusions” and just know something is true. Really knowing it’s true, from a centered, authentic place in your heart and not just in your head, is more difficult. It’s also best way to reach truth.

Being Effective vs. Being Efficient

Being effective means getting right things done in right way. Being efficient means getting most things done in least time. Obviously there is some advantage to getting things done in less time, but it’s absolutely crucial that this should be done in most EFFECTIVE way.

As you can see, Being vs. Doing is actually about what you’re doing and how you’re doing it. Initially it might sound like just sitting around, but it’s a very active process.
