Being + Doing = Meaning

Hey family, here I am again with a philosophy, a concept that drives me forward in life and everything therein. I am sharing this with you to inspire you to know thyself, your work, and your impact in this world.
Being inspired by others such as the late Dr. Myles Munroe (I discovered him and his works in 2024), I believe there is a difference between what I am and what I do. However, being the person I am results in doing what I do, every day.
The Concept
I am a human being. But I am also of a certain type known to psychologists as a personality type, not just traits or characteristics that belong to that personality. I describe or identify as an introverted intuitive empath, a rare kind of personality that even in the USA (West) is known to be from 1% - 3% of all the American population.
Now, my Being is like a seed. It's principle, the essence of being who I am, a human animal. This type of a creature, this organism has everything it takes to become what it is. Just like a seed, I have the potential to grow into whatever my kind is. I am a writer because of this nature.
Now, my Doing is like a tree. It's a purpose, the passion and the ability that comes with who I am, naturally. A tree is on a mission to become a seed manufacturing machine, a potential to reproduce itself. Doing is mission.
Finally, Meaning is like a fruit tree with so many fruits with so many seeds inside each one of them (depending on the kind of a tree), ready to produce a forest. A tree is a forest in the making, should the circumstances around it go well.

This is a formula to say that Meaning is a result of Being times Doing/squared. This is the same thing Einstein found out about the physical world many years ago. In my opinion, life is all about these three elements just as energy, matter and the speed of light are.
How does this apply to your Wealth Affiliate business? It does apply in the fact that we first need to discover who we are so that we know what we do before expecting results or the impact afterwards. You see it now?
I communicate better through writing than I do with speaking. I then have to write content and share in with everyone who have access to the Internet and that person is you, right now, right here. This is what drives me forward in my writing career.
The Business
For this reason, WA is my home for my business. It helps me host and build websites for my business. But it will also earn me money after I give it my time and other resources such as money for membership. I give and then receive. I give content through my website, and I receive feedback and money as a result.
The system works like a compass with four main cardinal points. Wealthy Affiliate (WA), Google Ads (GA), Amazon Books (AB), and YouTube Ads (YA) are the four points or parts of the whole system.
I said I give before I receive. This is the concept here at the WA as well as in nature. We don't reap where we have not sawn. If we do, it won't last. I give content. But what kind of content is it? It's content meant to inspire, empower, and integrate individuals into the ecosystem of life and existence.
I have just told you my vision (Being), mission (Doing) and value (Meaning) in one sentence.
The Rewards
When I share this content through my website(s), WA will produce fruits (referrals who upgrade), GA will bring me earnings (through renting spaces in my content for advertisers), AB will bring me sales when people see and buy my books, and YA will earn me money when ads are shown in my video content.
I am aware that some of you here are already earning a living from any of these streams, also known as revenue opportunities, here at the WA. I am still working on the plan, the business model, which as I write this haven't produce significant results yet. But with planning, action, and determination, I am on my way to testify with a testimony (did I say tasty monies?).
Are you inspired now to discover your kind? Are you ready to see your career/niche? Are you willing to put in the resources before you reap the harvest?
Yes, we have to prepare the land, plant the seeds, weed the weeds, and then when things go well, when it rains just enough, and all the weather conditions are right, the harvest follows.
Let me know what you think about this business mindset in the comments below.
