In this practice of exploring the future we want to see, we work from our interests.
Our interests are things that are attractive to us. They're things that excite and inspire us. We want to explore and pursue them. They are the answers to the question: What most interests us?
They are the opposite of the obligation of shoulds that feel more like burdens than gifts. This is not to disregard the potential value of what we feel we should do or pursue. Some of our shoulds can become meaningful in service of our interests. They can become contributory and complementary interests.
It's curious that while shoulds are more extrinsically motivated, interests are more intrinsically motivated. We do a should because it leads to something else. We pursue an interest just because it is attractive in itself.
