Most people will never know what they want. I don't know what I want. "What do you want?" is too imprecise to produce meaningful and actionable answer. Forget about.
"What are your goals?" is similarly fated for confusion and guesswork.
The better question is, "What would excite me?" Just as the opposite of love is indifference, the opposite of happiness is boredom.
The cure to boredom is excitement, and it is precisely what you should strive to chase. What would excite you?
—Tim Ferriss, 4-Hour Work Week
