Excellent piece. I must say it went in a different direction than I anticipated from the title. I say that mostly because engagement favors titles that show the reader what they are getting. Obviously your title is not clickbaity, and after reading it I get the connection. When I saw the title, I thought of this quote: "If you think your life is about DOINGNESS, you do not understand what you are about. Your soul doesn’t care what you do for a living-and when your life is over, neither will you. Your soul cares only about what you’re BEING while you’re doing whatever you’re doing. It is a state of BEINGNESS the soul is after, not a state of doingness."

Now that I've read your piece, you might enjoy this message from me to my kids that my father never would have written.
