You are not the things you do, but the way you are being.

Here is another thought sent to me by Neal Donald Walsch, author of Conversations with God. Neal goes on to explain:

Your State of Being is the way you express your very definition of self. This has nothing to do with what you are doing, what you have done, or what you imagine you will do in the future. It has to do with the quality and the essence of the energy that emanates from you right now. Is it love, or is it fear?

Everything you express emerges from one of these two starting points. Yet you can return to love, as Marianne Williamson famously wrote, at any time you wish. For each day, each moment, offers a new beginning.
