“The unexamined life is not worth living.”
- Socrates
In order to unlock your full potential and achieve your greatest dreams, you need to take a step back and examine the kind of life you are living.
Take a look at 15 life-changing questions that will help you to objectively put your life under a microscope:
1. WHERE DO I WANT TO BE IN THE NEXT ONE, FIVE, OR TEN YEARS?
It’s impossible to predict but it’s important to have a plan of where you want to be.
Asking yourself this question allows you to set goals about what you want to achieve in your life.
2. Will I GET WHAT I WANT IF I CONTINUE DOING WHAT I AM DOING TODAY?
Remember, your future life is dependent on the things you do today.
Asking yourself this question helps you identify the things in your life today that are wasting your time.
3. WHAT IS MY WHY?
Without knowing the “why” behind your goals and dreams, you minimize your chances of achieving your goals.
You will face challenges that will make you feel like quitting.
It becomes easy to quit without a clear picture of why you are going for that goal.
4. WHAT AM I GRATEFUL FOR?
Being grateful doesn’t mean stop trying.
It means we should count our blessings and appreciate the life we have today.
Gratitude is one of the keys to a truly happy life.
5. WHAT NICE THING CAN YOU DO FOR SOMEONE ELSE TODAY?
Even little things can make a big difference in someone's day.
- Give someone your spot in line,
- Buy a co-worker his favorite morning drink,
- Call your mother and mindfully listen to her tell you about her week.
6. WHAT ARE MY VALUES, AND AM I BEING TRUE TO THEM?
It’s important to have values that guide you.
Know yourself, see your set of beliefs and ethical principles that guide your behavior.
Your values are the essence of who you are.
7. HOW MUCH DO I WORRY ABOUT WHAT OTHERS THINK?
You can’t be at your best self if you’re constantly worried about what other people think of you.
You can never really know what’s in people’s heads so instead of worrying about it, be your most confident self.
8. WHAT WOULD I DO IF I WASN’T AFRAID OF ANYTHING?
This question can have a very profound impact on your life.
Fear holds so many people back from going for what they truly want.
Pondering on this question helps you to identify the things that truly matter to you.
9. WHAT WOULD I DO IF TODAY WERE MY LAST DAY?
Imagine today was your last day alive. Would you spend it mindlessly scrolling through Social Media?
No one knows when they’ll die. This means that today could very well be your last day on earth. Why waste it doing useless things?
10. WHY NOT?
We have been brainwashed by society that we need to follow the rules.
Following this path often leads to an average life.
Sometimes, you need to go beyond the rules and stop playing it safe.
11. WHAT HAVE BEEN MY BIGGEST MISTAKES?
Your mistakes teach you valuable lessons which strengthen your character.
“The bigger the failure, the greater the lesson.”
12. IS MY SOCIAL CIRCLE INFLUENCING MY LIFE POSITIVELY?
Hang out with happy people.
Asking yourself this question allows you to evaluate the social circle you surround yourself with.
Are they people that challenge and encourage you to be a better version of yourself?
13. AM I LIVING A LIFESTYLE THAT PROMOTES MY WELLBEING?
To enjoy life to the fullest, you should live a lifestyle that enhances your health.
A healthy lifestyle should focus not only on your physical but also your mental and spiritual wellbeing.
14. AM I GIVING THE PEOPLE I VALUE MOST ENOUGH TIME?
You should never be too busy for people who love and care for you. In the end, they are the only ones who matter.
People who spend more quality time with people they value tend to have higher levels of happiness.
15. WHAT PART OF THIS SITUATION IS UNDER MY CONTROL?
This is a powerful question because very little is actually under our control.
it’s only by focusing on what can control, that you can actively move the needle.
