I have been focusing quite a bit on the power of no and this would fit with what you wrote. Thank you. David Michelle,

Interestingly, one of the ways to find out who we are is to find out who we are not. Finding out and accepting who we are not is a place many choose not to go (I think) because they equate it with failure. Or because we think the things we are not are the things that count and that makes us feel inadequate. I don't believe we can be anything we want to be although it seems to be a North American staple belief. I realize that belief is supposed to be encouraging, but in practice, I think it leaves people feeling they don't measure up. Hum - interesting subject. Might have to blog about that. Regards, Michelle David,
