🧭 Three Questions for Mental Clarity and Direction

LIP #251
Sep 11, 2025

Three powerful questions can serve as a mental reset and grounding exercise:

1. 🎯 What am I trying to do?

  • Ask daily each morning
  • Provides big-picture perspective
  • Prevents reactive, autopilot mode

2. 🚀 Where is there momentum?

  • Focus on what's working
  • Maintains positive outlook
  • Guides resource allocation

3. 🚧 Where do I feel stuck?

  • Address but don't dwell
  • Less emphasis than first two

Key Principle: Directional Accuracy
While the industrial mindset teaches sticking to goals no matter what, the modern approach recognizes that following momentum and adjusting course when needed is actually wiser.

It's about moving in the right general direction while remaining flexible about specific targets, since we can't always predict what will gain traction.
