Actions drive outputs, which generate outcomes. These outcomes compound, determining whether objectives are achieved or missed. Objectives are set to accomplish missions, and missions are designed to fulfill visions. These elements collectively outline living. Distinguishing between and deciding on them is critical to living with intention. ^c1f6fb Actions are what people do, and outputs are the immediate, tangible results of those actions. Outputs enable outcomes, which are the broader effects or changes that result from them. The accumulation of outcomes determines whether predefined objectives are met. Objectives are stepping stones to achieve a mission, which is a longer-term, purpose-driven endeavor. Missions serve the broader vision—the aspirational state of the future you're trying to create or contribute to. Living with intention requires clarity at each level: knowing what you're doing (action), why you're doing it (objective), and where you're going (vision). [[Actions drive outputs, but YOUR actions MAY drive them]]. Outputs generate outcomes because [[Output and outcome aren't the same thing]].
