TOP 10 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF AND WHY SELF KNOWLEDGE is the KEY to having the life you want.Written by Dr. Dorene Lehavi
Start by asking yourself some specific questions. Keep a record of your answers in a notebook or journal. Here are 10 questions to begin your journey and remember, YOU will always be a WORK IN PROGRESS. 1) If you could do anything you want to tomorrow, what would it be? The answer should not be something that is an escape from what you ordinarily would be doing, but in more positive terms of a true dream. 2) What are your core values? Core values became yours in childhood and you would not be you if you did not respect those. Make a list and then pare it down to 5 that speak to you most strongly. 3) What are your special talents? 4) What do you do better than most people you know? 5) What were your dreams as a child? If you have trouble remembering, go back and look at early photographs. Notice details to jog your memory. 6) What is thing you are most proud of accomplishing in your life so far? If you are tempted to answer “getting into college” or “passing bar”, ask yourself something more personal and unique. For example, ask yourself if “getting into college” would have been choice you made if it hadn't been expected of you. Would you have preferred to learn a trade had it been an acceptable choice? What moments of triumph did you have as a child?
