There is a Living Lucky® framework for this, and my mom ran it without knowing it had a name.

Vision comes first. Not a mood, not a general direction. A specific Point B you can say in one sentence. Most people can describe what they do not want in enormous detail and go vague the second you ask what they actually want. She got specific. Atlanta.

Agency is next, and it is the honest part. What are the obstacles, internal and external, and where do you have a choice you have been pretending you do not have. That is the question that ends most two-year holding patterns, because usually the choice was available the entire time and the waiting was the thing being chosen.

Momentum comes last, and it is the reward. Clearing the house. Listing it. Buying before selling. Each action creating evidence, and the evidence making the next action easier.

You are not tired, exactly. You are comfortable. And comfortable is quietly, politely, talking you out of your own life.

Every single time we override the math and go anyway, we come home and say the same sentence.
