Like a road sign or a compass, the reason why we do something is much more important than how we do it. How is the procedure. It is the mechanics of doing all the steps to get to our goal. Why is what lets us reach our goals. It gives us our starting point and helps us to define our path. It tells us where we want to be at the end of the journey. It reminds us what we were doing if we wander off our path. It allows us to adapt, improvise and overcome when obstacles get in our way. It helps us to keep going when we have lost all hope of ever getting to where we want to be.
So, the next time you are stressing out about planning and other miniscule details, remember the why. The how is important, but the why is the reason we are doing it. Sit back for a minute and remember why and then go forward, because life is about the journey and the why not the destination.
