Your Worth Doesn't Lie In What You Are Doing Rather Than Who You Are Being

And if the world

should whisper,

“Your worth lies

in what you are doing

rather than who you are being,”

I practice sitting with myself

in silence,

with a cup of tea—

until there is no difference

between

who I am while sipping tea

and who I am

while I am working.
