5 Questions That Could Change Your Life

As I've mentioned often in my writings and podcasts, self-awareness is a prerequisite to change.

If your life is not what you expected it to be and you don't know why self-awareness holds the key.

Self-awareness forces you to discover the truth about yourself.

Unfortunately, most avoid thinking about why things are as they are.

Without self-awareness, you will never be able to understand why your life is the way it is.

So, I thought I'd put on my muse hat to help you confront the inner demons that are holding you back.

I've devised 5 questions to ask yourself that will help you better understand why you are where you are:

Question #1: Who Are My Mentors?

Mentors are the fast track to success.

Those who seek out and find mentors to help them learn what to do and what not to do, excel.

Those who don't flounder.

Have you ever sought out a mentor?

Do you have any mentors right now?

Question #2: Do I Have Toxic Relationships?

Toxic people drag you down.

They demotivate you, antagonize you, anger you, interrupt your life and add little value to your life.

They are typically negative, gossip mongers and naysayers who stop you in your tracks.

They distract you from pursuing your dreams and your goals.

They consume your limited resources of time and money.

The fewer toxic relationships one has in life, the better one life will be.

Question #3: How Much Self-Study Do I Do Every Day?

Daily self-improvement causes growth.

Successful people pursue learning every day in order to grow into the individuals they need to be in order for success to be found.

Do you read every day to learn?

Do you write down what you learn?

Do you have a growth mindset?

Question #4: What Are You Passionate About?

Those who pursue things they are passionate about accumulate the most wealth in life.

They are the most successful individuals.

What makes your heart sing?

Are you pursuing things that you are passionate about?

What are your dreams and your stretch goals?

Question #5: How Many Hours Do I Waste Every Day?

The hallmark of successful people is their productive use of time.

They devote hours to self-study, networking with other success-minded people, and pursuing dreams and the goals behind their dreams.

They develop a blueprint for their lives and devote hours every day following that blueprint.
