“Why can’t I ever seem to finish what I start?” – This one visits me sometimes. Have to change that. Thanks for the message!
4sho!
What is the meaning of my life? I have intimations of a higher purpose.
Whatever meaning you give to it. :o)
How can I be of value in this situation?
Love it.
What would happen if I could – my all time favourite question:)
:o)
Ask and it is given….. You get what you ask for….
When I’m down and out there is the -why me? But I try to turn that around to what is this here to teach me as quickly as I can.
I love the question how did I ever get so lucky (blessed_fortunate) to have all that I have. Makes me spin into an appreciation momentum which is always helpful.
Very thought provoking, Jacob
Here’s one for you. What would you say is one of the most necessary steps to living your life on purpose? What are some of the questions that helped you find your way to where you are now?
Early on in my Sensophy journey, we used to have a category for blog posts called “Quality Questions.”
It was those big self-reflective questions which opened the space for me to learn more about myself.
What would I do if i had all the money/time in the world and couldn’t fail?
What do I love to do SO much that I’d pay to do it everyday? (Now, how can I get paid to do that?)
What does success mean to me?
Etc. Etc. :o)
Great questions. And I’ve asked myself that. I went to the first live your legend meeting in Orlando after receiving your email about it. That’s what lyl is all about asking yourself those very questions. Love Scott Dinsmore and the work he does to help others find their way into life with meaning. Thank you for reminding me of this Jacob. Because I do know the answer but fear holds me back.
Yes yes and more yes!!
How do I find authentic and consistent clarity to finally know what I want?
Sweet, Alyssa!
How about: “What would energize me?”
That works, too!
“what else?” or “what’s next?”
Sounds like you hold a lot of space! 😉
i like to think that i make space for what is important.
beyond that, i love asking this question because it can trigger something forgotten, and it lets the other person know you are actively listening 🙂
Yup!
Great article. I then tried quickly to think of questions worth asking myself and fear reared it’s ugly head to make me stop. No, fear will not stop me. I will take the time, effort, and face vulnerability to get this done. Now I think I am starting to understand the “on purpose” .
Holy crap! Lol And thanks.
My pleasure! Let me know what you come up with!
Great article Jacob. What ever you are not giving, could be lacking in any situation, how can I see this differently?, how is this happening for me? are the empowering questions I am asking myself these days. Now the ones that stop me and keep me in the fear/ego cycle are, what would happen if I could? Do I have enough time and money?? Why can’t I just follow through? Why am I taking on too much?
Yeeeeah. Super cool.
Awesome thought provoking post, thanks for sharing Jacob. I think I’ve been asking myself some shitty questions… Time to re-think/re-feel and create new questions for myself. Seems to me like the ‘how’ and the ‘what’ questions are a good starting place. 🙂
Suh-weet!
Your method of explaining all in this post is actually pleasant, every
one be capable of without difficulty be aware of it, Thanks a lot. Please visit my site: new games
instead of “why is this happening to me?” – I ask, “Why is this happening FOR me?” Flips perspective PDQ
My answers to the initial question in the blog:
1) I don’t believe you. I believe your successtory is true. But I also know people don’t linger long on succes stories. Unless you have a deep spiritual life and lots of self control, sooner or later (probably sooner) you are going to ask for more. More freedom, connection,… . Also stuff gets boring after a while. For example, travel is great but living out of a suitcase and constantly changing time zones is not.
2) Enjoy, this is not going to last. Life is going to throw a spanner in the works, like sick and old parents, a baby at the wrong moment, unforseen expenses… However bad luck has an up side, it lets you know who your real friends are.
3) This is the time to find the stuff that gives you the same sensation but doesn’t depend on external things. Even things like health, connection, working for a purpose,… depend on external things. This is the moment to investigate religion or philosophy (in the Acient Greek style, not the acedemic style).
A question that keeps creeping up on me more and more:
How does what I do make an actual, physical, tangible difference in the world?
I feel that I have spent too much of my time caring and nurturing paper tigers.
I think it’s important to continue to give back… as somebody who works with the “down and outs” I believe we who are able to cognitively and financially get ourselves into a space of happiness, it’s important to continue giving. Which you are. So keep on keeping on 🙂 You give best when you’re happy.
This article resonated with me on a very profound basis! No really, I’m not just flattering anyone here…
There are really tons of “very shitty” questions that we’ve been asking ourselves for so long, I think we can afford to stop that madness.
We all get one bite of the apple, this is it…
I must say that one of your sentences (probably it’s your own unique) should be considered as one of the best quotes ever said:
The quality of your life is directly related to the quality of the questions you ask yourself.
It indeed is. It’s completely related…
Thanks a ton for this great article!
Very Short, but Very Powerful!
I’m reading Martin Seligman’s “Learned Optimism” right now and it’s really, really good. It’s not so much about optimism as it is about the psychological facts we have about what it takes to live a good, meaningful life.
One of the things that he mentions is using your strengths most days to create something that’s meaningful to you. That has been with me ever since and I’m playing around with it. Maybe that book would be for you right now too?
He also mentions something about the kind of hangover you get when you get to the top of something and feel like you’ve got everything you want, and I believe he says that using your strengths for something bigger than yourself is helpful at that stage too.
Sending love!
I really apteicrape free, succinct, reliable data like this.
Dumbass marijuana doesn’t make yu stupid or anything. Neither does heroin, I’m on it right now. It’s just while you’re on it sometimes its harder to do certain things, which is why you don’t do it when you need to do shit. But heroin addiction is a bitch. If you don’t use a needle though theres really not many bad effects next to depressed breathing,overdose and addiction
September 26, 2011 11:53 pm by ESPY I’m enjoying the notable new 52’s. I just read Detective Comics and Batman #1 the other day. The art was top notch on Batman. As for Marvel, I am trying to get into X-Men Schism (not feeling it). The new Ultimate Series with throwback bags are pretty good. Looking forward to where Daredevil is going. This week I am looking forward to Geoff Johns writing of Aqua Man.
That’s really thinking of the highest order
Although I haven’t agreed with some of these guys outlook on the never ending smith saga. I’ve offered to have a beer with some at the tailgate party’s. I can’t take different opinions to serious. I’d be in prison. Lol except one niner…. He is the truest form of a blog low life there is. There is no way on earth I could ever be seen or even sit with a dude like that. Jail I’d be a going. Hospital he’d be a going. Most of the others bay is talking about at least have some class. Hoff by far has the most, even though he is the king of Alexcuses. 🙂 lil dig Hoff. Lol
