Noise Filter

The Intent

Some borrowed scripts hide behind vague and generic expressions. Separation clears and strips away the remaining vagueness. The Noise Filter exists to test and identify your goals and ambitions for clarity and definition.

The Practice

List your stated goals, values, and ambitions, then circle any that use abstract, vague, or generic language. Success, happiness, respect, admiration. Attempt to define the meaning of each one, but do so not based on what others say, but what they mean to you. Use concrete, specific terms. If a value cannot be described in specific, observable language, if the vagueness remains, mark it as noise to be removed.

The Insight

Noise cannot be acted upon, serving only as distractions keeping you from what truly matters to you. Remove what cannot be defined. This filtering clears away the static of borrowed ambitions. This refinement and filtering clears the space for what truly matters to you to be illuminated.
