Ask Yourself Some Questions

I have to admit, I am really enjoying the "blogging" experience thus far. I'm easing into it, as you can see. I was thinking about thought-provoking questions today. I began wondering why we don't take some time each day and ask ourselves these questions. I realize we live in a very busy world and that we are all moving from one thing to the next. We are all racing to get to something. But have you ever really stopped to think about what that something really is?


Yes, we all have bills and families and responsibilities, but what about now, right now, in this very moment? Stop. Become aware. Listen to the noises around you. If there aren't any noises, listen to the silence. Just in this moment. And the moments are passing, aren't they? 


What about you? Are you where you want to be? Have you thought about this moment? Or have you continued to look past it all? We keep ourselves busy, even when we are not at work. Did you ever ask yourself why that is? What is it that keeps us from spending time with ourselves? Why have we stopped asking ourselves questions? Below, is a list of questions. Read them. Give yourself a few moments to ponder them silently.

1. What are the weaknesses I need to compensate for and how will I do this today?
2. What would I do if I wasn’t afraid?
3. What truth am I blurring?
4. What would I do if I wasn’t afraid?
5. What crossroads am I at right now?

After you've pondered them, try to answer them. Write your answers in a notebook or journal. Don't think about grammar or spelling. After you are done, ask yourself this final question: Is there room for you, in your own life? Is there?
