The 5 best self-help questions

1. What are you trying to achieve?

Some people are very busy. Say yes to a lot of things. Never seem to rest. And end up accomplishing almost nothing compared to the energy they expend.

That’s because they don’t have a clear idea of where they are heading. This is also why these people often have a nervous, frantic vibe about them.

2. If you’re in a shitty situation how did you help create that situation?

Not all shit that happens to us is our fault, but it is empowering to accept responsibility for what happened. It will help you fix it.

3. What is one thing I can right now that is going to make my situation a whole lot easier in the long run?

4. Have I really tried?

Alternatively: Do I have bad luck or do I just lack self-discipline?

I mean, sorry, but in most cases people don’t achieve their goals because they lack self-discipline.

This would mean they are lazy.

But I think being lazy can be translated as: their goals don’t motivate them enough.

5. What activity really makes you come alive?

There is no way around it. If you want to get the most of this human experience the thing that makes you feel the happiest and the most excited should be a central part of your daily life.
