4 Questions that can change your Life

Do you know where you are going to? If you are running into dead ends, try reaching within for what you need.

1. What if money were no object?

If you no longer had to worry about earning a living, how would you be living? Take money out of your life’s equation and consider what life path appeals to you. Money stress can often be symbolic of other worries. People commenting on shortage of cash should explore whether they are really low on personal reserves, time and energy. Next, identify a clear goal and focus on the exact cash you need.

2. Say Hello to your inner 8 year old.

Think back to yourself as a little child & rekindle your old hopes & dreams. The question to ask the 8 year old is how she feels about past dreams. Is there happiness, sadness and confusion?

The more you sense your inner child celebrating and feeling joyous about meeting you, the more this means that you are living a rewarding life in line with your value. If you sense the child would be disappointed, embarrassed and sad, this may indicate that you have abandoned an important aspect of yourself.

Do you feel proud of who you have become? If the answer is no, it maybe time to ask if you are living a life based on someone else’s values.

The image of the inner child can help you elicit your true wants and needs, rather than other people’s opinions. It can be helpful here to call forth an image of yourself as an experienced older person, as you would imagine you will be in the future. What is she telling you to do? Use this to gain guidance & understanding.

Try to remember what excited you as a child. Take up an old hobby or revisit old dreams with the maturity of an adult.

3. How do you want to be remembered?

What is the legacy you would like to leave behind long after you are gone?

Your legacy is really about the way you have lived your life and the choices you have made. Think of the simple messages or life lessons you have treasured from family or friends along the way. Did you learn from your mistakes? Did you make sense of the ups and downs? Did you pass on the knowledge you have gained?

Do you want your life to have meant something? Can you hold yourself up to your own high standards? Start a scrapbook of your life.

4. What are you waiting for?

Pinpoint the blockages that are holding you back? Until you get real about the emotional, physical and spiritual blockages in your life, you cannot progress. Ask yourself why you are not moving closer to your goals. What are you waiting for? Pushing past the initial inertia can make you aware of the practical steps that need to be taken. Get clear about what you want then create a step-by-step plan. Get rid of the weeds and start planting good seeds. What sort of garden do you want to create?
