Dear Reader:
Just because you know the answer doesn’t mean you don’t have to ask yourself A QUESTION.
Remind yourself that even though your natural instinct is to look for answers, the truth is that questions teach us much more than answers.
Go against yourself. Even though you gravitate towards looking for answers, better answers – stop and do the opposite.
Ask a question.
The right question at the right time can change how you live, your lifestyle, your happiness, your emotions and the course of your life.
You deserve to ask yourself important questions.
Do you know that a question can heal an angry heart?
Do you know that a question can help you forgive – not for the sake of the other person but for yourself?
Do you know that a question can still a turbulent mind?
Do you know that a question can give you much insight into what you need much more than an answer can?
Here are 3 Inspirational Questions you should ask yourself:
- What is the most important thing?
What is the thing that is most important to you? Do you know it? Do you know it explicitly?
If you don’t know what the most important thing is to you, how do you know whether you are taking the steps to get it?
Without knowing what it is you value the most, you can’t make it a priority!
2. Is this WHO I want to be?
Do your actions match your intentions?
Do you do what you say you will do?
For example: You say you are a hard working person, but you take every shortcut you can.
That is a contradiction.
It doesn’t matter that you say you love someone, it only matters if you show that you love them.
So, ask yourself this question for every action you take.
Is this reflective of the person I want to be?

3. Who do you spend Time with?
“Tell me who you spend time with and I will tell you who you are” Goethe
Do you know what your environment is like? Of course you know.
But, have you given keen attention to it?
Do you know that your environment is shaping you?
Your life comes to resemble its environment.
Do you have someone near you who constantly belittles you?
Unless you make a conscious choice to change your frenemy who puts you down, you will go down with him.
And by change I mean, you should choose a person who uplifts you.
Who we know influences more than any factor who we will become.
So, choose wisely!
