There are an infinite variety of things that you don’t want. If you focus all your energy on those things, then you won’t have anything left to do the positive things you do want.
You have to turn that equation around. Even if all you know right now is the negative thing you don’t want, you have to figure out how to reframe that into the positive thing you do want. On,y then can you make positive progress towards that thing you want — and by the way, you will naturally avoid the things you don’t want by focusing on the things you do want.
Sure, examples of bad stuff can be instructive, but only so far as it helps you further clarify the good stuff you’re actually trying to achieve.
