Working from rather than working toward

While we work toward goals as locations, we work from directions as lenses. We don't presume that what we even honestly declare as goals can live up to all the assumptions that we use to legitimize them.

Working from directions, we use them to reveal new questions and options. Directions are completely realistic because we see them as lenses. We know from experience that they amplify our perspective in ways goals and our reactions to goals do not.
