Meaning
This can be taken to mean that clarity begins with asking what you want, why you want it, and how you will get there. The quote reduces life to intention and action, which can be comforting when a choice feels messy or oversized. It lands before a big decision, when listing your aim, motive, and plan can cut through noise.
