The only journey is the one within. Rainer Maria Rilke

Hi.

How are you today?

I hope you’re doing well.

I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions.

I promise nothing too personal.

Okay, here we go.

  1. Given the choice of anyone in the world, who would you want as a dinner guest?
  2. Would you like to be famous? If yes, then in what way?
  3. Before making a telephone call, do you ever rehearse what you are going to say? Why?

I hope you’re still playing along.

  1. What would constitute a “perfect” day for you?
  2. When did you last sing to yourself? To someone else? Can you sing a little for me, right now?
  3. For what in your life do you feel most grateful?
  4. If you could wake up tomorrow having gained any one quality or ability, what would it be?
  5. If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future or anything else, what would you want to know?

Only two more to go.

  1. Is there something that you’ve dreamed of doing for a long time? Why haven’t you done it?
  2. If you knew that in one year you would die suddenly, would you change anything about the way you are now living? Why?

I hope you took the time to answer the questions.

Some of the questions are obviously lighter in nature than others. I designed them that way so you’d experience emotions on both ends of the spectrum.

If you really did take the time to answer all the questions then you should be proud of yourself. The majority of people spend little to no time getting to know themselves, and they plow through life without stopping to think about who they really are and what they want out of life.

Carving out a little time for introspection on a regular basis will allow you to focus on what you want to get out of your life. Yes, the irony is that it’s your life and yet you, like most, probably don’t take your own time to think about it.

The questions I asked you were just a few to get you thinking. Feel free to explore other questions that might help you get to know yourself better. I can guarantee that it’ll be well worth the effort.

P.S. Thanks for reading! If you enjoyed it please share it with one person you love.
