Get Yourself Thinking with these Review Questions

We are all trying to put 2020 behind us and are looking forward to a better 2021.  Just looking forward to next year is not going to automatically make it better.  Hoping that ’21 set the bar so low that ’21 has to be better isn’t a full-proof strategy.

 You have to make an intentional choice to make it better.  If you can’t clearly state your mission, values, and goals, you need to do more thinking.

 Here are questions that I have gathered from people like James Clear, Jim Afremow, and even Han Solo!, to review how things have gone in the past and how I want to intentionally experience the next year, month, day, etc.

I hope some of these questions provide you with inspiration to pause and think about where you are and what you want your future to look like.

  • Imagine the most important goal or project you are working on right now. Fast forward six months. Imagine the project has failed.  Why did you fail?

  • If you keep living the way you are, what will your life look like in 20 years?

  • Do I take 100 percent responsibility for my successes and failures?

  • Have you played the victim?  And how can you take responsibility for how you feel?

  • Imagine the most important goal or project you are working on right now. Fast forward six months. Imagine the project has failed. Why did you fail?

  • What limits have you placed on your own success?  How can you break through these perceived limits?

  • When the rules don't work you break Them.  Where do you need to stop doing the same thing so you can get a better result? Don't always follow conventional thinking when there is a better way.

  • How will I handle my current situation like a champion?

  • What will I do now to get to where I want to be in the future?
