Challenge connection by examining the deeply held belief underpinning a pattern. Employ a short, intentional pause before making any significant decision about the matter. Defining modest improvements helps reveal the purest form of necessary action. Let care meet curiosity in the way you approach this. Let this small step help you connect separate ideas into a useful whole as you give an unfinished idea a little room.
