This is great, I find that a lot of people have goals but they are much less likely to have plans. They fall into the trap of "one day" and they just continue doing the same things on autopilot. Gotta get those goals into action!

Highly relevant and insightful Mark. I love the 7 step process that links the deeper inner ‘why’ to action. Thanks for sharing.

I agree with this mostly, except when it comes to calling intention “the why”. I strongly disagree with that, maybe I’m missing something?

To me the “why” is so much deeper: it’s the reason behind wanting to prioritise artistic pursuits - what is it about how the artistic pursuits make you feel, that you want more of? And how does this link to who you consider yourself to be, your dreams?

The “why” is something that lives at the “dream” level, or deeper. Even the dream is much more of a “why” in the language example. Because to me “why” is a reason, a cause, finding its way to become an intention - an expression of one’s Will. I’m thinking of mystery traditions now, they play a lot with intentions and will.
