What you don't want in your life!

What you don’t want in your life!

Last week we started on our journey to discover what it is that we really want in our lives … but, it’s actually much easier – for most people – to think about what we don’t want …

… so, that’s where we will continue our journey to find our Life’s Purpose:

What don’t you want in your life?

Take a few minutes (in fact, take as long as you want) to write down as many things that immediately come to mind … whatever it is that causes you pain, suffering, anger, stress … any and all negative emotions.

This is ‘brain dumping’ so don’t dwell on it, or limit yourself … dump it all out there, Baby!

Great!

Now, look at the list and just circle for now the few most important ones – 5 or 6 is plenty … less is OK, too, but I’m sure that you will find at least 3 or 4 …. even you, Buddha :)

That’s it for today … more tomorrow …

This is such a great exercise. Really helps to clear the vision between yourself and your potential wealth…

Great post!

@ Scott- You’ll start to see your answers converge to something VERY important in the next week or two …

What I don’t want is to be so consumed with the working of this experiment that I lose sight of other things in my life that are important. My life must be focused and balanced. I don’t want to wake up and find myself spinning out of control trying to jump through hoops to please someone else.
