Give your potential fewer places to hide.

Potential hides in vagueness. As long as the goal has no deadline, no measure, and no first step, your capability can remain theoretical and therefore safe from testing. Every specific commitment closes one of those hiding places, which is uncomfortable and also the only way ability becomes actual. Most people mistake this discomfort for a sign they have chosen the wrong thing.

Take one open-ended intention and pin it down this week with a date and a definition of done. Notice the resistance that produces. That resistance is a fairly reliable indication you have found the right place to start.
