# Direction Direction is where something is going. ## Meaning Direction names the movement implied by a meaning, action, system, relationship, [[Purpose|purpose]], or mission. A direction can move toward [[Health|health]]. A direction can move away from health. A direction can move toward [[Clarity|clarity]], [[Understanding|understanding]], [[Shared Meaning|shared meaning]], [[Alignment|alignment]], [[Relationship|relationship]], or [[Well-being|well-being]]. A direction can also move toward confusion, pressure, harm, or [[Being Unwell|being unwell]]. [[Alignment]] depends on direction because parts are aligned when they work together in the same direction. [[Purpose]] depends on direction because what something is for helps explain where it should go. [[Mission]] depends on direction because a mission gives action somewhere to go. [[Decision|Decisions]] matter because they choose the next direction. [[Action]] reveals direction because what a being does shows where energy is moving. In Joe's Mynd, direction should be judged by whether it supports well-being across the relevant being, dimension, and time horizon. ## Source Of Meaning This note is grounded in the way Joe's Mynd already uses direction inside [[Alignment]], [[Purpose]], [[Mission]], [[Health]], [[Unhealthy]], [[Well-being Decision Check]], and mission review. ## Relationship Over Time This note should mature as Joe tests whether a word, mission, relationship, system, or action is actually moving toward well-being or only sounding good. ## Links - [[Meaning]] - [[Action]] - [[Decision]] - [[Alignment]] - [[Purpose]] - [[Mission]] - [[Health]] - [[Unhealthy]] - [[Clarity]] - [[Understanding]] - [[Shared Meaning]] - [[Relationship]] - [[Well-being]] - [[Being Unwell]] - [[Well-being Decision Check]] ## Tensions A direction can feel good while moving away from health, or feel difficult while moving toward health. Joe's Mynd should test direction through results, not only through intention or emotion. ## Question Where is this going?
