# North Star North Star is the guiding aim that keeps a [[System|system]] oriented. ## Meaning In Joe's Mynd, the north star is [[Well-being]]. The system should help beings exist more well. If a tool, note, project, practice, offer, workflow, or source stops serving well-being, it should be simplified, paused, redirected, or removed. ## Source Of Meaning This note is grounded in [[The Well-being System]], [[Well-being]], [[Health]], and Joe's statement that well-being is the core value underneath the work. ## Relationship Over Time This note should stay simple. It should be used when the system starts optimizing for complexity, status, attention, or productivity instead of well-being. ## Links - [[The Well-being System]] - [[Well-being]] - [[Health]] - [[Purpose]] - [[Mission]] - [[System]] ## Tensions A north star can become vague if it is not tied to action and result. ## Question Is this still serving well-being?
