Negative space

The idea that we are running towards something might not be true. It could be that what we are running towards is, not coincidentally, away from what we don't want.

That is, in my experience, we are much more motivated by discomfort and fear.

Maybe that successful person doesn't want it more than you do. Maybe not having that success is much more painful for them than it is for you.

Instead of asking, "What do I want?", it might be worth asking, "What do I not want?"
