Go Beyond Mere Action

Not everything requires (just) “action.”

So often the result of considering a problem or goal is asking: “What are you going to do about it?”

It’s a useful question, for the most part.

But it’s a micro strategy.

Long-standing problems or significant goals require something more than micro – they require a combination of mindset, approach, language and action.

Sometimes the (best) question is: who are you going to be about it?

Being is a macro approach.

It invites you to be comprehensive.

To shift everything necessary to create what it is you want.

And to do so in a way that makes the change/improvement lasting and brings you closer to the truth of who you are.*
