What's Not David?

I created a vision of David in my mind and simply carved away everything that was not David.~Michelangelo

It can be daunting to think about a vision. The possibilities are endless - it can be hard to know where to start.

Sometimes a faster way to arrive at what we do want is to start by looking at what we don’t want. By thinking about conditions or situations you know you won’t enjoy, you can begin to create constraints. Limiting options can be an effective way to arrive at the things you do want.

Process:

• Think about your ideal life 10 years from now. What does it not look like?
• For each item you write down, ask yourself what the implications might be.
