I was thinking of the same when writing this article. Theoretically it makes sense that we start from the 50k level downwards, but from a practical view it's better to start organizing actions at the runway level, and then move up the horizon. Once your day to day actions are under control, there less resistance moving up :) Mohammed Ali Hi James,

It's given me a little more to think about. Nice timing :) Are we looking to see how what we are currently doing aligns with each level, or are we defining what we want to do and then looking at how we can align our lives with it?

You know I've been thinking about those questions for a long time, and still am searching for the answers. But now I'm more confident than before in managing my agreements, as my 50k ft horizon becomes clearer. I also realize Life is a journey, and have to enjoy the present moment and accept whatever comes in it. Ali Hi David,

Thanks for your comment. You know I’ve been thinking about those questions for a long time, and still am searching for the answers. But now I’m more confident than before in managing my agreements, as my 50k ft horizon becomes clearer.

I also realize Life is a journey, and have to enjoy the present moment and accept whatever comes in it.

And as simple and straightforward as these questions and areas of engagement may be, the truth is, it comes down to these truths...and that the answers come from nothing deeper or more relevant than you, at this moment.
