If you ask the “right” questions to yourself, you can harness the power of your subconscious mind to conquer any challenges and live your life to the fullest.
The power of questions is truly remarkable, but you must use it responsibly.
If everytime you commit a mistake, you ask yourself, “Why am I so stupid?” your subconscious mind will find ways and create circumstances to prove that you’re right (even if you’re not!).
Instead, ask yourself, “How can I improve the way I do this?” Your subconscious mind will then help you to come up with solutions.
Questions have improved my life tremendously; but out of all the questions I’ve asked myself, 5 of them have made the most positive impact in my life. And I’d like to share them with you now…
Question # 1: What Is My Heart’s Deepest Desires?
You can never be truly happy and consider yourself a success until you’re fulfilling your heart’s deepest desires.
So what makes you so thrilled and exhilarated to get up early in the morning? What are you so passionate about that you’re willing to give up anything for it?
Once you discover your heart’s deepest desires, your life will be filled with meaning and purpose.
You will finally realize that you’re born in this world to accomplish something extraordinary – something you’d truly love to do or become for the rest of your life.
So ask yourself, “What is my heart’s deepest desires?”
Then list down (on a piece of paper) everything that comes to your mind. If you’re not sure whether a desire is something that you’re really passionate about, write it down anyway.
When you’re done, rate each item on a scale of 1 to 10 (with 1 being the least desirable and 10 being the most). Pay attention to your desires with a rating of 10. These are your heart’s deepest desires.
Focus your efforts and energy towards doing them. Make them a top priority in your life and actually “live” them with passion.
If you do, you’ll become the best version of yourself and live the life that you’re truly meant to live.
Question # 2: How Can I ________________? (Fill the blank with the thing you want to accomplish.)
I ask this question when I can’t figure out a solution, or when I want to know the best possible solution, to an issue.
You may ask it at the exact time you’re encountering the situation; but the best time is to ask it before you go to sleep, because it’s during this time when your subconscious mind goes into hyperactive mode in finding the “right” answer.
Let’s say you dream of owning your own business but you’re limited in funds. Before going to sleep, ask yourself, “How can I get the money to fund my dream business?”
Follow up that question with a firm statement: “While asleep, my subconscious mind will find the best way to start my business. And tomorrow, it will lead me to the perfect solution.”
Sleep peacefully with the confidence that the answer is right around the corner.
