A foundational decision determines why we climb. Primary decisions determine what we will climb. Secondary decisions determine how we will climb so we can accomplish the primary decision.

“Why” decisions lay the foundation for our actions. Once we know why we do whatever activity we do, we can determine specifically what we want to do. “What” decisions give us vision.

The quality of our decisions begins with foundational reasons that address why we do what we do. Quality “why” reasons lead to quality actions.

In previous eLessons we outlined a structure based on current reality, vision, and following the path of least resistance through that structure. As we enter that structure we’ll make many decisions. What decisions we make, why we make them, and how we make them determines the quality of our actions. In the next four lessons we will study decisions, how they differ, and how they build into the climbing process.
