A colleague, trained as a life coach, introduced this method as a way to re-focus your personal goals.

The WHAT might be a goal:            I’m going to learn to fly
The HOW might be the method(s):   um.. fluid dynamics?
The WHY might be:                      I believe I can fly, duh!

Your WHY keeps you persistent, engaged, coming back. Your HOW is all the weird-ass things you’re going to try and try again. And the WHAT is just a promise waiting to be fulfilled.

WHY-How-what?

You’ll need a good WHY* where you’re heading. ;)

Similarly what is your bigger picture?
