“We hear only those questions
for which we are in
a position to find answers.”
— Friedrich Nietszche
If we don’t make time to examine our motives, it may catch up to us.
Why?
Many people are dictated by their unconscious desires instead of
making conscious choices.
“Question everything.
Learn something.
Answer nothing.”
— Euripedes
Ask WHO ARE YOU BECOMING?
The Past is written. The Present is the sum of your earlier choices. The Future is uncertain.
Who you decide to be should be an informed decision not a consequence of following the path of least resistance.
Ask DO I LIKE MYSELF?
“The big question is whether you are going to be able to say a hearty yes to your adventure.”
— Joseph Campbell
See the past as a series of events that shaped your life,
because every experience brings the gift of learning and growth.
If you disapprove of yourself you cannot possibly like other people
since every interaction stems from your relationship with yourself.
Ask WHAT MATTERS MOST TO YOU & WHY?
“In all my affairs it’s a healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark
on the things I
have long taken for granted.”
— Bertrand Russell
This is an important question
because until you clarify what you value
most, you will spend your life wandering aimlessly.
Sadly, many people
may never discover what is important to them
because they are distracted by the swirl of events around them.
To You,
WHAT IS THE MOST
IMPORTANT QUESTION
TO ASK YOURSELF?
I've been asking some of these same questions recently in my life as well as in my A to Z series. One of my biggest questions of late is: How do I most effectively achieve the big dream that is my current focus in my life?.

Dreams come true in small increments I believe, one step forward after another. Sometimes the answers to our questions change -- not because life changes but because we do. Best of success in your dream, Arlee!
