I’m always wrestling the HOW and the WHY. Trying to find a balance between them.

I feel like everyone wants the HOW to do something... but the *real* value is in the WHY behind it.
When your *intentions* are clear, and you’re *emotionally* engaged in a pursuit — there is a force behind that that carries you through the details of execution.

There is *so* much information on HOW to do something — but the journey of WHY is more reflective. More nuanced.
For me, the context, the perspective, and finding the *bigger* picture is everything.

It allows me to tap into a *deep* alignment.
For productivity and “getting things done” the nuance is interesting.

There is a blend of the WHY, the HOW, and also the DISCIPLINE — the ACTION.

It’s easy to get “hung up” in either the WHY or the HOW.

Stuck in the clouds, or in the weeds.
I’m still working on my blend, on the optimal balance —

But it’s wayyy towards the WHY, with an increasing focus on the DISCIPLINE.

With a faith that the HOW will work itself out.

Choosing direction of action based on *intuition*, *emotion*, and *vision*
