It’s no longer a secret

I’ve often talked and written about people wanting to know the secret.

The secret to losing weight.

The secret to being a success.

The secret to getting funded.

The secret to getting started.

And I’ve equated that question “what is the secret?” to a one dimensional train of thought “What is the shortcut?”

But I am starting to come around to the idea that there is another aspect to the same question: “Tell me what to do next.”
