Takeaway: The process of elimination doesn’t work when you’re faced with many options. For more clarity toward your goals, emphasize the language of solutions—what you *should* be doing instead of what you *shouldn’t* be doing.

When you only have two options—this or that—knowing what "not" to do is often as good as knowing the "right" course of action. You can quickly use the process of elimination to figure out the solution.
Once the number of options grows, however, knowing what "not" to do doesn't get you any closer to your intended outcome.
The process of elimination doesn't work if there are an infinite number of choices.
When faced with an overwhelming number of choices, focus on the language of solutions.
The language of solutions focuses on what you *should* be doing, not on affirmations of what you *shouldn’t* be doing.
This simple process makes the path to your goals more clear, simple, and actionable.
If you want clarity, focus on what you *should* do to achieve your desired outcomes.
