The Power of (Your) Questions

We live into the questions we ask ourselves.

If we ask crap questions, like “Why does this always happen to me?” or “How come I can never catch a break,?” we’ll get crap “answers.”

Similarly, if we ask small, or limiting, questions we will have requisitely small lives.

However, if we ask useful, resourceful questions, we’ll get answers we can use, answers that are helpful.

Our questions are just an aspect of our self-talk.

And, as our self-talk goes, so go our lives.

The whole thing is an artificial construct that only makes you feel about yourself (and gives you a bad impression of goal-setting and achievement). What should you do instead? Well, you shouldn’t do anything. (Do things because you clearly and authentically want to do them.)…

  • Where Do The Monsters Go?

    Since your experience in any given moment is exactly equal to what you are thinking in that very moment, that means that when you’re thinking about your monster, you feel your monster. And when you’re not thinking about your monster, your monster does not exist. – Amy Johnson I loved reading the article from which…

  • Focus On What Matters

    The key is not to prioritize what is on the schedule, but to schedule your priorities. – Stephen Covey You must take control of what you do. Until you get clear about what you want – and what you don’t – you can’t take control. But when you do take control, you can decide what’s…
