Food for Thought (#5)
Some thoughts on what and how
“We often make the mistake of thinking we have to know how to do something instead of thinking that we are going to do something. Intention creates direction. The what dictates the how.”
— Julia Cameron, Supplies
…
“That’s because my life and success have been more of an unfolding and an allowing than a “getting.” Some of the best things have happened unexpectedly because I deeply knew the what but I didn’t push the how.”
— Christine Kane

(and from this blog – Look Ma … I’m an Expert?)
This approach usually gives me permission to move from “whether” (or not) I should do something to “how” I could do it.
[…] We’re unable to separate deciding what to do from figuring out how to do it. […]
