Summer night questions-

It's important to set aside some time to reflect.  One of the best ways I know how is by asking key questions- Where are you now? Are you happy with what you've done up until now? Look closely at every area of your life: is the relationship with your family the way you'd like it to be? Are you satisfied or comfortable with where you are financially? Are your relationships with friends, co-workers, business contacts as strong and reinforced as you'd like them to be? How do you feel spiritually? Do you feel that you are connected to your inner self? Are you growing as a person? 

Ask yourself some of the questions that maybe your closest friend won't ask you!  Are you a better person than you were a week ago, month ago or a year ago? What are you doing to constantly get better? What are you doing to force growth? What standard do you hold for yourself? Are you living up to your full potential or are you merely satisfying someone else's expectations of you? Can you quantify your improvements or growth? What five things have you been putting off that you know in your heart will give you massive progress? Why are you putting them off? If you keep doing what you are doing currently, where will you be in 5 years? 10 years? Is that what you want? no? why won't you change it? If you had children would they be proud of you? Would someone be interested in writing a book about what you've done with yourself? If it was written, would anyone want to read it? Are you optimistic about the future? Are your 1 year, 3 year, 5 year and 10 year goals written and clearly defined? What will it take to attain those goals? Who do you need to become? What do you have to give up to achieve those goals? Why haven't you given them up? What scares you? What drives you? What makes you want more? What gets you fired up? What or who motivates you to go after what you want? Are you where you thought you'd be a year ago? 5 years ago? No?  What happened? What are you doing to ensure that it doesn't happen again? What's your plan to have a massive result in the next 1,3,5 years? Would you feel comfortable sharing that "plan" in front of an audience of 100,000 people? Would they take you serious? Do you take you serious? What's stopping you from tapping into your potential? Why? Have you given up on yourself? Why? Do you do whatever you do the best you can? No? Why do you do it then? 

What is it that you want out if life? Go out and get it! Reach out and grab it! You have greatness within you! You can do anything you want if you would just believe in yourself!
