When I ask new clients about their vision, their goals, what they imagine the thing will look like when it’s done, I inevidably hear so much more about how they’ll get there than about ther vision itself. I ask about ends and hear about means.
Is this because we’re too busy to ask what we really want and why, so we fall back on our to-do lists instead?
Is it because we’ve been beat up too much to think we really can achieve our goals, and just tell ourselves the hike is so important we con’t care about the summit at all?
Before I get the retorts, though – of course we should enjoy the journey and not let achievement-focus rob us of the joy of the process. 100%.
But we take this too far when we can’t imagine the life we want without planning the whole project in the same breath.
So what do you really want?
Stop telling me how you get it. That’s incidental.
