To Be Done vs. Done vs. Doing

Recently, I posted the following as a Facebook status. “David Licata is wondering what’s more important, what you’ve yet to do or what you’ve done?”

It was my way of trying to be pithy and get people to click on the link that would take them to a blog post about Arcosanti and what has been done and what has yet to be done. Stefan Grace, who lived-worked at Arcosanti and who helped tremendously while we shot there, posted this comment.

“How ’bout what you’re doing?”

Spot. ON!

Soleri and the residents and workshoppers at Arcosanti–and Jill Tarter and the folks at SETI, Robert Darden and the people who are involved with The Black Gospel Music Restoration Project and David and Jared Milarch of Champion Tree Project–areĀ  doing work NOW.

None of these folks are resting, on their laurels or anything else. All are currently working diligently and passionately. And that’s the most important thing. Not what you’ve done. Not what you’ve yet to do. But what you’re doing.

Do you agree?

Thanks for the inspiration, Stefan.
