As I do more research into mind-matters these days and how our mindset determines our life-set of circumstances. I wanted to share some insights about the why’s vs. the hows in our thinking and how it affects our movement through the world and the energy we derive from our decisions.
Not knowing how to do something is a direct result of indecision. If we are undecided, then we remain stuck in the realm of not knowing and keep asking how. Once we’ve made up our mind, then the how’s will present themselves to us. Once we know our why and made up our mind about the why of doing something, the why questions cut to the heart of the decision and of the person. Once we know that why, then we can easily manage the how’s of reaching that goal, decision, end-state, or lifestyle or whatever it is.
We need to pursue the why’s of our lives and don’t be seduced by the easy how questions…look deeper inot the why’s and if we can’t find relevance in what we are doing, then we need to find something else to do. So what is relevant in your life – how are you making a difference to the world and why are you choosing that path? Are you choosing the path of making a differeence or of indifference?
You will know by your energy you put towards a project, just which path you are taking. Where intention goes, energy flows and the amount of time you are giving something in your life is in proportion to the priority you are giving it in your life. What is taking up your time these days, what are your priorities, and is it really relevant to you or others? If you can’t find enough time in a day to do everything you want to do, then you need to hire out a life-support system in order to buy your time back.
I’m walking that path right now and hiring out more and more life-support systems so I can focus on the things that bring more relevance to my life and the lives of others. What are you doing to move forward on the path of making a difference to yourself and others.
Just my 2 cents worth on figuring things out and making big changes to get big results.
