A few good questions

Continuing the transfere of old posts to the blog:

Your mind will answer any questions you pose. It does not ask if the question is true or false. It just comes up with some answers.

Thus if you ask, “Why do things always go wrong for me?” You will get a thousand and one reasons why things always go wrong for you. Now your mind is concentrating on all the negative things in your life – a few real but mostly imagined.

Now you are on a vicious cycle going downhill. When you see the world through dark glasses you see a gloomy world.

Now if you ask, “How come I’m so lucky?” You will come up with many reasons why you are lucky. You will now notice your successes and these will increase.

So here are a few good questions:

• What can I do today to move toward my goals?
• Where is the opportunity in this apparent problem?
• How can I manage my weight while feeling satiated and happy?
• What is the learning here?
• How can I increase my happiness simply while having fun?
• How can I improve my relationship with my partner?

Note most good questions are how questions and not why questions. Even a question like “Why am I so lucky?” is not a good question, since your brain will just answer it without giving you an action plan. You will feel much better than asking, “Why am I so lucky?” A much better question may be, “How can I improve my luck?”

If you ask tht question it is good to remember this definition:

Luck is when opportunity meets preparation.

Make up your own unique questions to help you with your unique situation.

I want to acknowledge one of my mentors, Tony Robbins, for teaching me about the power of questions. Tony suggests coming up with five motivating questions for yourself. Write these questions on an index card and read them each morning as soon as you wake up and the last thing at night. This will get your mind thinking along the right lines to create the right answers for you.

So go ahead ask the right questions and the answers will come.
