I’m going to borrow that way of thinking about it. Removing obstacles, letting go, etc.

That's the way to go. Very often if we are asked "What do you want?" we can't give a good answer, whereas "What do you dislike / hate?" almost always gets an instant answer.

In this regard I just succumbed to this brain quirk so I prefer to find 5 things this month that irk me and do my best to remove them from my life, as opposed to meditating hours every day trying to find those 3-4 ultimate things that will instantly make me happy.

Better chase the mouse in your feet than to try and find the elephant beyond the horizon.
