People often dont realize the importance of questions in their life.
-
Because the questions you are going to ask yourself will determine the kind of person
-
you are going to become.
-
In fact, some questions are so powerful that they can actually change your entirely perception
-
about life and lead you to take absolutely different path that will completely reshape
-
your life.
-
But the problem is that, we got use to ask ourselves difficult questions but are not
-
important such as: How to make more money?
-
How to get people to like you? or is college worth it?
-
Although that these questions seem pretty important but they are absolutely useless
-
because they are simple the consequences of much simpler questions.
-
And as long as you haven't figured out the simple one yet, there is no point to run behind
-
the difficult ones.
-
There is one unique and I would say special question that you should be asking yourself
-
all the time and that's - WHY?
-
Although that this question seems pretty simple, answering it isn't as easy as it seems.
-
In fact, its one of the most important life questions ever.
-
And the clearer and deeper you can answer this question, the easier life is going to
-
get.
-
let's say for example: I want to make a lot of money.
-
So I would ask myself - Why?
-
why would I want to make a lot of money.
-
If you think about it, the answer is obvious.
-
I want to have a lot of fancy things, a better car, nicer clothes, smarter gadgets, bigger
-
house.
-
At this point, we can already conclude that I don't really need the money but what money
-
can actually provide.
-
But we aren't going to stop here, we will keep asking - why - until we get to the root
-
of it.
-
So the following step is - why do I want to have all of this fancy things.
-
My mind is telling, I want people to treat me differently, to respect me, I want to have
-
some kind of authority.
-
Just by asking this question twice, we already have figured out that I am not running behind
-
money, success or the luxury but rather i want respect and authority.
-
lets dig deeper, why do I want respect and power?
-
to attract positive important people into my life and to be loved.
-
Just think about it.
-
We went from wanting a lot of money to the most basic simple human need.
-
Being sarounded by loving important respect people.
-
To love and being loved.
-
The deeper I dig , the better I understand myself.
-
The clearer i can set my priorities and values.
-
So in order for me to be happy, I just need to do something that will make people love
-
me and as a result of that attract positive important people to me, such as being a more
-
useful person.
-
I should try to bring more value to the people around me.
-
But unfortunately the society has led me to think that i should dedicate my life to earning
-
money, regardless of what I want.
-
By the way, you should stop there.
-
You should keep going (asking why) until you get to the root of it.
-
Then only you will understand what you really desire.
-
Otherwise you will be chasing something you dont really want.
-
However, that doesn't mean.
-
I will stop earning money.
-
But rather, I will have a deeper and much more stronger motivation.
-
Because I know that I am not simply trying to make more papers but rather I am trying
-
to achieve something more meaningful.
-
You can spend all of your life going though those papers in the office or flipping burgers
-
in Macdolands.
-
But when you clearly know that WHY behind it, you will do it with stronger motivation
-
and enthusiasm.
