The How

What You Want And How To Get It

I was advised early on to focus on the what and less on the how. I was told the how would work itself out if I focused on the what enough.

The thinking goes if you want a motorcycle, focus on the motorcycle, the type, the engine size, the color. Think about how it will feel to ride it, to have it, to clean it.

Do so, and the how of how you will obtain it will work itself out.

I had a tough time agreeing with the concept of focusing more on the what and less on the how until I realized…

The how isn’t about not making a plan and standing still, it’s about not making a plan and forging forward in different ways. The how isn’t something you can plan to the T. The how is something you test. The how requires you to wiggle, to stumble, to push, shove and kick.

Think about how much time is spent planning for things when the only guarantee about a plan is that it’ll change, maybe in a big way and maybe only slightly, but it will change.

Those who get what they want are the ones who try a hundred different methods to get it, not the ones who spend a hundred hours planning a single path to attainment.
