Human Doing and Now Human Being

There's a lot of talk about the first half of life being SUCCESS .... or achievement. Or over-achiever-ness for me. EXTERNAL. 

And the second half being SIGNIFICANCE .... or meaning. And for me, INTERNAL. 

I think most, including me, think significance means curing cancer for the world ... but it's been the DEEP inner work and after several years doing this, I'm seeing and finding rich meaning and purpose in this work. 

First half for me has been DOING.

Second half seems to be focused fully on just BEING. Like after my burnout - 6 months of my "forced" sabbatical and not being able to work. Just sitting with it, as they say.
