When I try to play the video, I get a message that says it is private.
Jim,
That is a **GREAT** first question. 🙂
Try now (+ thanx for the headsup).
You fixed it—thanks!
So, where do you get your energy from?
Hi there!
I've finally got round to sending a few particular e-mails this morning some of them ones I'll 'get round to' others have been put off by the fear factor of 'Do I sound like an idiot?' and 'Am I good enough?' etc
What are your thoughts on keeping that little voice at the back of your mind quiet.
Where do you get your energy from?
I think you're a vegeterian/vegan, right? So why did you decide to go vegeterian and how did you do it?
Where do you want to go with Sensophy?
Are you still unsatisfied with your life sometimes?
What do you do when you hit rock bottom and just feel completely tired/unsatisfied/overwhelmed/generally bad?
That's it for now 🙂
How will you separate your instinct from your emotions?
Sometimes I get confuse if its my instinct, or is it just my emotions.
🙂
What’s the meaning of life?
Why when making changes do we often sabotage ourselves?
How do you overcome your inner critic?
Is too much introspection unhealthy?
How do you follow through when you don’t feel like it?
Great questions! Excited to hear the answers 🙂
How do you deal with setbacks and other similar frustrations?
What your thoughts on money issues hindering people's dreams?
Those a just a few questions off the top of my head.
When you made the decision to live a more fulfilling life, what types of things/goals did you begin to focus on in your life instead of acquiring stuff?
What was the new satisfaction that replaced the temporary satisfaction of maybe getting a new car or being able to buy a new toy?
Also, what was your moment of clarity when you realized that you had made the right decision and that you were living a more fulfilling life?
how do you know for sure you're on the right track? as in… if you think you've found something that could be your purpose, your path, your one thing… is it normal to permanently doubt that it's the right thing? or are those doubts a sign that you just haven't found it yet?
that would be my number one burning question right now, cause I think I've found my passion, but I'm just not sure, and often I can't find the energy to really try and make it work, so I'm always wondering if maybe the thing that I REALLY should be doing is still out there?
How do you define the following? Happiness? Success? Beauty?
What makes a relationship healthy? Friendship? Romantic? Is physical intimacy necessary?
In one sentence, tell us what message you want your life to show/tell.
If you could meet anyone, alive or dead, who would it be? And why?
Any tips or secrets for those of us who have trouble meditating?
How do you push yourself through fear? Success is ALWAYS an option, so do we sometimes CHOOSE failure?
On a more personal note – how do you know when a relationship has run its course and its time to move on?
I have trouble with this because I don't want to hurt other people, so I tend to sit with my own misery because I hate hurting people more than I hate denying myself what I need…. It seems ridiculous to say, but it's true. How do I overcome my need to make sure everyone else is ok, even though I'm not?
How do you prioritize your tasks?
How do you prioritize given "everything" seems important…?
What do you do when you feel alone (like no one thinks the way you do or values what you value)? I know now you are SURROUNDED by such people, but back when you weren't… how'd you deal with it?
How can we better serve one another in this need, building real community where there is mutual support and not just a head 'guru' with all the answers? (I don't think you're setting yourself up as this, and I thought your response about not having all the answers was great, but there is always a danger of us missing the strengths and gifts of those in a community like this when the focus is on one person).
What do you do if you have a hater actively seeking you out and doing/saying rude and nasty things? Yes, I've severed every tie, distanced myself as much as possible without moving to another state, I speak no ill and make every effort to stay above the fray. Yet he can't leave well enough alone. Tying to take the high road but when he won't let up, it's hard.
I'm loving hearing what you guys + girls have to say. Excited to answer a ton of these! 🙂
And, if you see someone else asked a question that you're very interested in hearing the answer to, please say so under the question!
Just a little question, what gave you idea you can answer every question in the world? (no offence meant, just curiosity)
Hey Mia!
Question right back: What gave you the idea that I have the idea that I can answer every question in the world? 🙂
Sometimes the best answer is another question. Our deepest wealth of wisdom comes from within.
To elaborate a little more, I'm curious to see how I can be the most helpful, so these questions are a great way for me to gauge that. I don't have *every* answer and every answer I give may not be the best for *every* person.
I'm also interviewing 50 world-class thinkers between now and December (3 per week – 14 done already!) so it's a great opportunity for me to ask THEM these questions!
Life is good. 🙂
I think I know my life purpose because there is something I love to do that makes me happy and fulfilled and feel closer to God. But I can't get good enough at it to do it because I have a brain injury related disability. Spending the rest of my life knowing I can't live my purpose and do what I love has meant living unfulfilled and in emotional pain and trying to be numb so I don't have to feel it every day. How do I deal with the hurt of not being able to live my purpose because I'm disabled?
How to you maintain your focus over the long term and not get burned out (i.e. when you're dog tired, your brain feels like its fully of fog, and your focus gets totally derailed)? Knowing my own tendencies, this is one that I am trying really hard to combat with a number of strategies, but would love to hear your input.
Digg'n it.. also experience a bit of a "stale" period where the goodness novelty wears off… missing that euphoria that I felt when first tuned into the positive psychology frequency.
Why do I always feel guilty when I just want to relax a bit and smell the roses? Seriously feel shitty, in a depressed state.
Why am I so goal oriented? Is that really a bad thing?
I like having material possessions, why is it that portrayed as such a shallow thing?
When someone keeps complaining to you about a drinking problem, weight problem or relationship problem, etc and you know it's about really bad choices they are making.. what's the balance on telling them to smarten up and letting them find their path? (there's a scene from the movie Liar/Liar that keeps popping in my head 🙂 )
How do you find the confidence to talk to anyone and make connections? For example say your in a foreign country and language may be a barrier how to you surpass that.
Some great questions here. Really looking forward to hearing some of your responses. Thanks for putting this out there.
Yo Jacob,
I got a question but I'm not 100 percent sure if this is the right forum for it. But shoot, you said ask anything so I'll go with it.
I currently have a blog and I am trying to determine when to develop an actual product for it. Against popular opinion I think there is danger in trying to monetize too early. I don't just want to make something for the sake of having a product. I want to provide genuine and real value.
I get a lot of emails from people asking similar questions. To me, it feels like the easiest way to address all of these questions is to provide a product that provides that solution. But at the same time I want to continue to grow my site. I'm struggling with the idea of do I put my time towards the development of a product (to help my current readers) or to focus on growing the site so I can expand my reach and further my message.
So I guess it's 2 questions.
1. When is the right time to develop a product?
2. How do I know if I should focus on product development or growth?
How can I overcome my social anxiety?
I sort of feel silly asking a question on how to interact with people. But at the same time, I feel like confidently interacting wtih people is a skill that everyone needs. I'm not saying social butterfly status, but any level of interaction.
Hi,
my questions:
1) How do you deal with nay-sayers and haters? (Especially when they're very close to you –> family)
2) Why did you decide to launch Sensophy?
3) How do you keep a clear overview of your goals?
4) How do you fight the urge to try and hide your dreams/wishes/goals from nay-sayers so that they can't hurt you with what is important to you?
5) Who/what inspired you to help people find their purpose?
Thank you and have a great day =D
LOVING these + honored that you shared. Excited to answer a bunch of them! 🙂
