There is no scarcity of “How-to”s! They are easily accessible, just one google search away. We live in a world where you can literally find “How-to”s for any damn thing you want.
How to lose weight ? – You can find thousands of posts with bullet point actions to achieve this.
How to make money? – There are million ways to make money.
How to get out of debt? – You can find plethora of books written over this.
How to declutter you home? – Marie kondo can teach you gazillion techniques on Netflix.
How to mediate? – App stores are flooded with apps on this.
“How-to” is no problem. What is of critical value is “Why-to”. “Why-to” is primary, “How-to” is secondary. “Why-to” is what puts you on the search of “How-to”. There are many versions of “How-to” for the same “Why-to” but “Why-to” is one constant. “Why-to” needs reflection. It needs deep dive into your innermost core. “Why-to” needs to be constantly revisited and contemplated. If your foundation of “Why-to” is not strong, no version of “How-to” can help you. You will fail at each version of “How-to” if your desire is not strong and clear on your “Why- to” in the first place.
Why do you want to lose weight? – For Instagram or to be fit?
Why do you want to make money? – For a Ferrari or freedom to do things you want to do?
Why do you want to get out of debt? – To acquire more debt or to sleep well at night?
Why do you wan to declutter your home? – To make it look good or to really simplify your life?
Why do you want to mediate? – Because its in fashion and you can show off at social gatherings or you really want to better understand the nature of the human mind?
“Why-to” is the most critical.
Go on about your “How-to”s but never lose the sight of your “Why-to”.
