5 Super Questions That Will Change How You Live Your Life

Are you writing a history of misery, or a tale of tenacity?’– Iyanla Vanzant

What are you writing? Are you writing your own story, or are you waiting for other people to write your story for you? Do not wait. Do it yourself.

What if someone you loved and respected suddenly stopped speaking to you?’- Iyanla Vanzant

Do not brush it under the rug. Because you do not know what is going on with him or her. To know, you must ask. Keep asking until you know what is going on. If not, it is not going to go away.

What are you still holding on to?’

Look, life is precious. If you are not growing, you are dying. If something is not making you happy, if something is not growing you, it is killing you. If something is NOT adding value to your life, let it go. Remember, to let go is to let in.

Are you willing to be vulnerable?’

If you want to grow, if you want to improve yourself, your life, being vulnerable is the way to go. If you are not willing to be vulnerable, you will not know what you can do to change your life. If you want to grow, being vulnerable is everything. It is the way.

Are you a victim, or are you a victor?

You are a winner. You are not a loser. You are a doer, a producer. according to Iyanla Vanzant, ‘As long as you are a victim you will have someone to blame, someone to hold accountable for what went on and what is going on in your life.’ If you think like that, it is not going to be easy for you to create the life you want for yourself.

Whatever is going on in your life, you can handle it. Don’t blame it on anybody. It is your own to face. If you can face it, you can move forward.

The question is, ‘Are you willing to take full responsibility for your life?’

How To Build The Life You Want

In the words of Maulana Wahiduddin Khan, ‘Obstacles present no hindrance, for they open new avenues of intellectual advance.’

When you face a problem, what do you? Do you give up? Do you just say, ‘I am done. I can’t do it?’

Or do you try to figure things out? This is better. It is better to face what is in front of us than to leave it and just walk away.

Yes, you can walk away if it is not what you are really interested in, or what you want to do with your life.

‘You never build the life you want by getting lost in things you don’t want.’- Dan Rockwell

Because staying with what is not working is a waste of time.

If something is not going to make you a better human being, let it go. If you are not enjoying what you are doing, why do it?

Do not waste your time. Whatever it is that is NOT making you happy, that is stressing you, that is not adding anything to your life, if possible, let it go.

‘You can get what you want if you are willing to let go of what you do not want.’

Let it go. Because you need more time to do other important things, to live a better life, and to do a better work.

Because you can’t win by playing not to lose. You can’t win by not taking more risks. You can’t get what you want by keeping what you have. Because life is about investment.

To get more, you must invest more. You must do more. Learn more. And love more. The question is, will you do it? Do you have the courage to face what is right in front of you?
