Thoughful Thursday #55

Standard

Finding your path means not to look where you think you should be based on outside standards.

Finding your path means looking for who you are and basing your life on your standards.

Even if it looks strange and un-do-able follow that path and you will arrive at your perfect place where there is joy and fulfillment.

Questions

Standard

Here are a few questions for you to think about. Questions help you grow and at the very least examine why you make certain choices.

What if I had the opportunity to begin _______ again?

What if I started ending what I did not need anymore?

What if I told the truth to myself and others for a day?

What fear hold me back?

What choices can I change to bring more peace in my life?

Why am I resisting changing what I know has to be change?

Am I making decisions based on outdated beliefs?

Asking questions can be enlightening and uncomfortable but worth the effort. Take your time and write your answers down.

You may be surprised by your perspective.

Thoughtful Thursdays #54 Questions

Standard

I like questions.

Questions are an important part of relationships both with yourself and with others.

Here are some of my favorite questions.

What is in your heart?

What do you feel?

What makes you happy?

What makes you sad?

Would you want a super power? If so, what would it be?

What makes you really angry?

Are you willing to be talk about your feelings?

Are you willing to change one thing that you are unhappy with?

Do you love deeply?

Do you express that feeling of deep love  in some way?

Do you believe that things work out for the best?

Or do you believe you must push for what you want?

If you had no limitations, what are some of the things you would try?

What are you afraid of?

If you knew a statement was incorrect would you add some input or keep your mouth shut?

Is there something you need to let go of?

What do you resist?

What age do you feel?

What is your favorite academic subject?

How judgmental are you?

Do you accept others as they are?

Which values are important to you? E.g. kindness, truthfulness, etc.

I could go on but this is enough to get you thinking and perhaps asking others.

Have fun learning because that’s what life is about. Learning how the minds, bodies and spirits work.

The more you know about yourself the more you know about others, which makes for a happier and more content life.

Ask tons of questions because they are the starting point of change in a positive direction.

The Upanishads

Standard

Lead me from dreaming to waking.

Lead me from opacity to clarity.

Lead me from complicated to the simple.

Lead me from the obscure to the obvious.

Lead me from intention to attention.

Lead me from what I’m told I am to what I see I am.

Lead me from confrontation to wide openness.

Lead me to the place I never left,

Where there is peace, and peace.

The Upanishads
