DreamBound

People are saying similar things but yeah don't overthink this. The main thing when doing this and the other exercises in the LPC is to have fun. You'll get to the practical, drudgerous parts of your LP later on as you put your dreams and aspirations to work. However, for right now, with exercises like the values assessment -- look to the questions Leo mentioned in this thread, as they are a means to point you to what excites you, what makes you deeply happy bringing to mind and heart, and ultimately what you love most in life. It's like eating an ice cream. You don't have to overthink how or the best way to eat it. Let your imagination run wild and write about the most meaningful things in life to you and you alone! Enjoy I love and appreciate the LPC so much.

Speaking with nuance is important and especially in the context where absolutes do damage. However, I find it important to understand that sometimes your words cannot encapsulate the entirety of a situation (which connects to how words can't even encapsulate reality period), and confidence and assertiveness means more than needing to cover all context. Constant qualification... like hedging everything with "usually," "often," "in my experience" -- it can dilute the message. Like, a parent isn't going to say to their kid that they "should usually avoid running into the street." Fuck that, they're gonna be like "NEVER run into the street EVER!". The absolute isn't reckless, it's appropriate to that situation.
