Act like the person you want to become. For as Goethe, the German philosopher, once wrote, "Before you can do something, you first must be something."
Bob Proctor
This has to be one of the most profound quotes I have ever read. Not just this specific quote, but this whole idea of 'being' before 'doing'.
We so often run about the world in a tizzy of activity, rushing hither and yon attempting to pack in absolutely every 'something' under the sun into our day. Yet, at the end of it, we often ask ourselves, “What am I doing this for?” We end up longing for anchor, for a quiet stillness within that says, “this is why my activity has purpose and function”. When we 'do' before we become, we can often find ourselves adrift on this ocean of activity.
How do we become first? Inner growing, reading, writing, meditating, praying; there are many avenues to this and it has been found to be vitally essential to 'doing' in a way that makes a greater impact on the doer and the activity as a whole.
