One of the things motivating human being is to ask tough questions to oneself. Such an answer to such a tough question connects us to the life. Contribution of each question, when asked appropriately and effectively, to certain changes and improvements in one’s life is undeniable. In addition, contribution of competency of asking effective questions in business life to productivity, speed, confidence, knowing oneself, and high performance is also a common knowledge. Scientific studies proved that tough questions put forward affect people’s choices in the future.
As to the simple but tough questions, children are best. We are frequently surprised by the questions put forward particularly by children of 3-6 years old. Their questions are simple, but so challenging that they puzzle us profoundly. On the other hand, adults tend to take action upon a reaction or behavior displayed based on their experiences and perspectives when faced to an incident or circumstance, instead of finding underlying causes by asking questions. Therefore, such approach frequently causes criticism for being too reactionary as well as difficulties in being understood.
In these unstable, uncertain, and complex days, it is possible to expand our realm of impact by utilizing the power of questions much more in our business and personal lives, and by making right choices. It would be much rationalist action to utilize the power of questions as of today in order for changing deep-rooted habits, coping with learned helplessness, recognizing and changing paradigms, and for becoming much more efficient and mindful individuals.
You would enjoy the relief of emancipating yourself whenever you realize and transformed. There are no coincidences in the life. Whenever you are in need, the knowledge you expect, and which will transform you, will come up as answers to right questions.
Have you ever wondered when was the last time you asked yourself a question that really challenged you?
There are times along in our lives that we do not see the route. In order to continue down the road, we need clarity, we need light. I would like to share with you some questions that you may ask yourself right on such occasions, and that may guide you on your journey.
When sipping your coffee at your desk, and considering the scheme of things after writing down the answers to such questions, the answers to “What do my notes tell me about me?” and “What did I recognize?” will give you new awarenesses.
I wish that your answers to these questions given in the time you spared for yourself would shed light to your route and give breaths to your life.
