There is no pathway forward if we don’t ask ourselves “how?”
Not to say we have all the answers. Oftentimes we don’t. We end up relying a little too heavily on experiences and memories that may not serve our present.
But there are few other questions as powerful as “how?” Because asking “how” implies that whatever it is you want to accomplish can be done. If it can be done, there must be a way. So, we begin looking for the way.
Before you do any Googling, though, sit with yourself, preferably for 30 to 60 minutes. Turn off all distractions. Find a pen and a piece of paper and write down whatever comes to mind.
Your answers may not always be forthcoming. But if you keep doing the looking, you will eventually come up with a plan.
So, make journaling a practice. Dedicate some time to thinking about your relationship, career, or life daily. Dedicate thought to what you want to accomplish. It’s time well spent.
