BEING and DOING
Changing your actions doesn’t necessarily change your behaviors
Changing your behaviors will change your actions
When you transform your being, your change is transformed to.
When you change your doing, your being does not necessarily change.
Conspiracy of Metiocracy
We don’t mean what we say
“Traffic stopped me.” “The printer stopped working”
“I’ll see you at 9:00.” “How’s it going?”

Behaviors are like habits. We have good habits and bad habits. You have to set your mind, have a goal and want to improve in order to break bad habits.
Conspiracy of Metiocracy is an example of how people "make excuses" for what they have done wrong. But, is it "making an excuse " or just a way of trying to explain why we could not accomplish our goals. If explanations are not listened to, how can we survive?

We can survive easily by ignoring explanations and our own good instincts, because "comfortable" instincts sometimes override the good.
However, mearily surviving is never enough...
Sorry, I forgot to expand on what "Conspiracy of Metiocracy" means:
This idea is rooted in the fact that our society pretends to be focused on acheiving success through good intentions, merit, and good deeds - if only that were true. Some examples of this conspiracy include:
- Good guy doesn't always win
- Business isn't based on merit, but mostly profit
- Higher morals doesn't mean higher status
A more positive twist on this would be: society is not going to push you to be accountable, you have to be accountable for yourself.
