Have you ever notice how we have a human tendency to focus on negative aspects or what one doesn't want, rather than positive aspirations?

In the context of coaching, clients often struggle to articulate their desires and instead focus on what they wish to avoid. I wonder that this tendency might be an evolutionary trait, originally designed to keep humans safe from physical dangers, but now often misdirected in modern life where such immediate threats are less common.

The discussion explores the importance of defining what one truly wants in life, beyond mere escapism or material gains. But this approach is often hindered by fears of failure and self-judgment.

We also touch on the pitfalls of relentless pursuit of material success without emotional fulfillment, suggesting that such a path often leads to dissatisfaction and a continuous sense of lack.

Stay tuned to until the end for a series of reflective questions to help you identify these deeper desires, focusing on what you want to do, feel, and with whom they want to share these experiences.
