SAS Meeting on From Doing to Being [Virtual Mode]

Dear Delegates,
 

In a world driven by relentless activity and the pursuit of productivity, we professionals find ourselves caught in the cycle of constant doing. We measure our worth by our achievements, our success by our output, and our value by our ability to stay busy. However, there is a profound shift occurring in the way we perceive our lives and our sense of self. This shift is moving from a focus on “doing” to an embrace of “being.”

“From Doing to Being” is a concept that explores the transition from a focus on actions and achievements to a deeper understanding and appreciation of one’s inner state and existence.
 

The modern era glorifies doing. From the moment we wake up, we’re inundated with tasks and goals—career advancements, personal milestones, and social obligations. This constant doing is often driven by societal expectations and the belief that productivity equates to success. We chase after titles, accolades, and tangible results, equating them with our worth and identity.

While action and achievement are undeniably important, they can sometimes overshadow our deeper needs and aspirations. The focus on doing can lead to a perpetual state of stress and exhaustion, as the goalposts for success keep moving further away.
