Understand Your Objective – Bohdi Sanders

Each action of the warrior is performed from a place of fundamental wisdom…it is completely different from the ordinary behavior of a fool. Even if it looks the same, it is different on the inside. Takuan Soho

How can an action look the same as what some unthinking, moron does and yet not be the same? The answer is because it is different on the inside. This means that it comes from a place of honor and integrity. It doesn’t matter what it looks like to others, it matters what the intention is behind the action. Remember this and make sure your intentions are always honorable and originate from a place of integrity.

To do this, you must first understand your objectives and your motivations. Marshall Ferdinand Foch stated, “In whatever position you find yourself determine first your objective.” Guan Yin Tzu also taught this reasoning stating, “The secret of success is before attempting anything, be very clear about why you are doing it.”

If you don’t know your objective or the purpose behind your action, how can you possibly know if your actions are right? You must know why you are doing what you are doing, and what you want to accomplish with your actions. Your objective determines your actions.
