# Action Action is what a being does. ## Meaning Action is how meaning enters life. Action can be speaking, building, choosing, practicing, pausing, repairing, measuring, publishing, listening, resting, stopping, starting, or revising. Action is different from intention, [[Decision|decision]], prediction, and result. A decision chooses what happens next. Action does or attempts what was chosen. A prediction says what is expected before action. A result is what happened after action. Action reveals [[Direction|direction]] because what a being does shows where energy is moving. Action can serve a [[Purpose|purpose]]. In Joe's Mynd, action should be evaluated by whether it supports [[Well-being|well-being]], [[Health|health]], [[Relationship|relationship]], and [[Meaning|meaning]]. Aligned action is action that follows from clarified meaning. Action evaluation is the practice of seeing whether action promotes health, disrupts health, or is neutral. ## Source Of Meaning This note is grounded in Joe's goal for meaning to become better action, relationship, and well-being, and in the decision-test loop connecting [[Decision]], prediction, result, lived test, and meaning revision. ## Relationship Over Time This note should mature through real choices where Joe sees how clarified meaning changes what he does. ## Links - [[Being]] - [[Decision]] - [[Direction]] - [[Purpose]] - [[Well-being Decision Check]] - [[Relational Action]] - [[Well-being]] - [[Health]] - [[Relationship]] - [[Meaning]] - [[Source Of Meaning]] ## Tensions Action can create clarity, but it can also create pressure if Joe feels every meaning must immediately become output. Some action is stillness, waiting, listening, recovery, or refusal. ## Question What is being done?
