State of "Be"ing Cycle Definitions

Wanna Be:
A strong desire to attain stature and/or eminence in a specific field of endeavor.

Should Have Been:
The potential was apparent and the desire was strong enough to “Wanna Be” but no action was taken to begin the cycle. Leads to frustration, disappointment and lost opportunities. The state of lost dreams. When disabling events or the simple passage of time prevents a person from ever trying to be something. To live is a “wishful” world without any attempt to enter the cycle and without any possibility of achievement is perhaps the worst fate of all.

Could Be:
To be actively engaged in achieving what is desired. A certain degree of competencies have been obtained and you realistically can expect to “Be” what you once only dreamed of becoming.

Sideliner:
Any number of personal, physical, emotional or professional factors that prevents or interrupts attainment of “Be” status.

Could have been:
“Sidelined” along the way of achievement. “Be” status can still be achieved by overcoming the obstacle.

Be:
Attainment of what was desired. Actively involved in maintaining and enhancing that level of achievement.
• “Being” does not always mean a practitioner
• “Being” is still maintained and enhanced as a teacher, thought leader and as a creative.

Used to Be:
Due to a “Sideliner”, no longer actively engaged in maintaining the stature you once attained. However, a high degree of competency exists that would enable a return to “Be” with some effort. That competency erodes over time and the length of time on the sidelines determines the ability to return to “Be” status.

Has Been:
A significant time as a “Used to Be” has resulted in a loss of competencies necessary to regain “Be” status. Will require extensive effort and desire to start the cycle again. One has to “Wanna Be” again.
