The Examined Life


An examined life is worth living. The ability to ask ourselves the questions leads us to the right answers to our life’s most pressing problems. Keep asking yourself the tough questions until you start getting the answers. In life we can get all we want if we ask the right questions to the right people at the right time. We can start by asking ourselves the right questions first. Be patients and keep asking yourself the questions. Those who seek the answers will find them. Being able to ask the right questions is more important than having the right answers. Write down your life’s 7 most pressing questions. Focus on the questions and the answers will come in due time. Ask yourself one question a day for one week. Do it repeatedly 7 times 7 throughout the day and miracles will start happening in your life. Here are 7 sample questions for you to get started. You can pass the life exam!

1) What does success look like to me?

2) What relationships do I need to repair?

3) How can I make more quality time with those that I love?

4) How will I know when I am wealthy?

5) How can I turn fear and stress to my advantage?

6) How can I become a better friend and servant?

7) How can I find a great mentor to help me get better?

To be active on the above requires thinking. Thinking is hard work especially when we have not been educated to do it. You can start  seeing the world differently and by doing that you will change the world around you. Examine your life and you will live a legacy.

Be blessed and be a blessing to others!
