It can be said that the quality of your life is influenced and directed by the quality of questions you ask. What types of questions you ask other people is not nearly important as the type of questions you ask yourself.
Imagine for a moment that nothing, and I mean nothing, is impossible. If that was your belief, the only logical question went confronted with a challenge would be:
“How can I accomplish this?”
You want a new car?
Instead of believing you can’t afford it, ask yourself what you need to do to be able to afford it. Do you need to take on a second job? Do you need to budget the money you currently make better?
You want to lose weight?
Instead of believing that you’ve tried everything, only to repeatedly fail, ask yourself what you need to do to lose weight. (The answer to this question is simpler than most people are willing to accept). What books can I read? What people do I need to speak to or work with? What habits do I need to change? What can I eat instead of this cookie? Where is the nearest health club I can join?
Don’t have time for your kids?
Instead of believing that, ask yourself how you can manage your other responsibilities to free up time to spend with your loved ones. Ask your kids what is valuable to them to make every moment you do share more valuable.
Any challenege you have can be managed simply by asking better questions. Ask yourself questions that empower you. Ask questions that put you in control of your destiny. Here’s the two best question of all:
Why not now? Why not you?
