Stop Asking How and Start Living Why
We've built a culture that worships at the altar of practicality. Walk into any meeting where someone proposes something meaningful-abolishing performance reviews, reimagining leadership, creating genuine community-and watch what happens. Rarely does anyone argue with the vision itself. Instead, the room fills with a chorus of "How?" How do we get there? Where has this worked before? What's the ROI? These questions feel reasonable, even responsible. But what if they're actually the very thing preventing us from creating what matters most? What if our obsession with methodology has become a sophisticated form of resistance to the life we actually want to live? Think about the last time you asked "How?" in a meeting or conversation. Beneath that question often lies something deeper than curiosity-it's doubt masquerading as diligence. We've turned "How?" into our favorite defense mechanism, a way to appear engaged while actually keeping ourselves safe from commitment. Here's the uncomfortable truth: we already have countless answers to "How?" We've been collecting methodologies, frameworks, and best practices for years. Our bookshelves groan under their weight. Yet we keep asking the question, and when we finally act on an answer, we often find ourselves disappointed. Why? Because we're trying to live someone else's answer to someone else's question about someone else's life. The "How?" question expresses our deepest wish for control in an uncontrollable world. We believe somewhere out there exists THE right way-not our way, but a proven, validated, risk-free path that someone else has already walked.
