Sometimes we make the mistake of focusing on the things we don’t want in life.
Maybe we don’t want the debt, or we don’t want the conflict, or possibly we don’t want our jobs.
They say knowing what we don’t want helps us figure out what we do want, and it’s true. But in order to do that we can’t stay stuck in the “don’t want” thought patterns. We need to notice what we don’t want and then quickly switch gears to think about what we do want.
Maybe you want success, maybe you want peace, and maybe you want different work.
This mind shift alone is a huge step and will bring more rich communication and better planning so that you can see what’s possible.
Taking it one step further to define what that looks like for you, in your life, is a game changer. What does success look like for you? What does peace look like? What kind of work would be meaningful to you?
Training yourself to think well is critical. Without it we flounder around complaining about what’s not right. Nobody likes a complainer.
