Its’ Never the How; It’s the Why

I have always known that in achieving big goals, important milestones, that focusing on HOW I’d get there didn’t help move me toward that goal at all. All I had to know is that I would get there and why I wanted to do so – the how would take care of itself. Lately, I let myself slip back a little and I started focusing on the how. What good did that do? None; in fact it just made me anxious and left me feeling a little uncertain. Then, I remembered — the how isn’t always clear, in fact, it rarely is. Just decide what you want and keep looking ahead – knowing you’ll get it and all kinds of “hows” will be revealed to you. If you focus on the how, you may never arrive!
