Many meditation traditions cultivate much about the beingness, presence.
Some other "traditions", the doing.
In psychosynthesis (Transpersonal psychology) it is not about either or. It is about both AND.
This
boath and is about synthesis. Bringing both in the picture and then
something magical is there. We stay aligned, we are connected to life.
It gives meaning, purpose, shows our values.
BEING
The beingness, presence from where you know and are called to the doing; also called "the call of self".
DOING
Sometimes
the "healthy" action side needs to be freed. Unhealthy action side
could be related for instance to doings out of false/limited believes,
patterns, out-dated ideas of ourselves and others, assumptions, fears..
and the healthy action would be connected to your pure choise to choose
that serves your heart (*and the bigger heart), or soul (however you
like to call the depth of you). So to free it is to see what is blocking
you, or even stopping you.
Some have already a lot of will/action/doing, just check if any unhealthy behaviour around and
see if you can bring presence, your soul in.
And the AND is the synthesis of the being and doing, the magic, qualities of experience ✨
So the meaning is not the form (job title, status, hobby) the meaning lies in the qualities experienced.
Once you find your meaningful qualities
for now, freeing your choise for these qualities, acknowledging your
"shadow and light"; the forms might sift or you get to engage more to
the already existing ones.

post back, November 4th, "Qualities to reclaim" (might still be some
valid ones now as adult) and on post March 23rd you can find list of
some qualities that might also call now. On psychosynthesis stories more
to discover.
So, the being and doing:
The observer and the director
Awareness and will
Or
Love and power
The
Yin and Yang
*bigger
heart, the whole or the whole of a system. System referred to a healty
system that forms synthesis; like partnership, family, company.. healthy
system here refered to a system that is life giving. This another topic
