Leaders burn energy chasing ideas that never asked to be chased.
They push.
They persuade.
They explain.
They justify.
Endodyne leadership uses a simpler rule:
If it is meant to happen, it leaves tracks. Follow those.
This principle exists to protect your energy and sharpen your direction.
What “Tracks” Really Mean
Tracks are evidence left behind by reality.
They show up as:
Repeated requests you didn’t solicit Momentum that survives friction People finding you without marketing Problems or opportunities that keep resurfacing Progress that continues even when it’s inconvenient
Tracks mean something is already moving.
You don’t invent tracks.
You notice them.
The Trap of Forcing Direction
Most frustration in leadership comes from trying to make something matter.
If you have to:
Constantly explain the idea Convince people it’s important Push every step forward Justify why it should exist
There are no tracks yet.
That doesn’t mean the idea is wrong.
It means it hasn’t earned reality.
Endodyne teaches patience at this stage, not obsession.
Endodyne Discipline: Evidence Over Imagination
Endodyne leaders don’t ask:
“Could this work someday?”
They ask:
“Where is reality already pointing?”
Tracks remove ego from decision-making.
You stop chasing what sounds good and start following what is already forming.
Real-World Examples
You wonder if a message matters.
People quote it back to you unprompted.
Those are tracks.
You wonder if an offer fits.
Customers ask for it before you launch.
Those are tracks.
You wonder if a direction is right.
Every step forward creates more clarity, not more confusion.
Those are tracks.
Why Following Tracks Matters
When you follow tracks, you:
Reduce risk Save energy Move faster Build on what is already alive
When you ignore tracks and force direction, you:
Create resistance Exhaust yourself and others Build fragile systems Confuse effort with progress
Endodyne leadership chooses alignment over force.
The Endodyne Rule
Reality leaves evidence.
Direction reveals itself.
Energy follows what already exists.
You don’t need to guess.
You need to pay attention.
Here’s What to Do Next
List the ideas or projects demanding your energy. Ask where you see real tracks. Double down on the strongest one. Stop pushing what leaves no evidence. Let reality lead your next move.
If it’s meant to happen, it won’t be silent.
It will leave tracks.
Follow those.
