The New Year is Nearly Here

Start Questioning

 

The new year will be here before we know it and along with the new year come resolutions / plans / goals for making the upcoming year even better than the one just finished. But before you just go off and set those resolutions / plans / goals you might want to consider the following.

 

Before you can achieve anything you need to have a goal. But before there is a goal there comes a question. Questions are an important part of determining where you are currently at and where you want to go. Asked correctly, they can help you determine what it is that you like …. and what it is that you dislike.

 

Once you are clear on what it is that makes you happy and what it is that displeases you you're on your way. Ask yourself what makes you happy ….what activities, situations, people, etc. What things are a waste of time. As a colleague of mine says “what are pleasant distractions”. Those are things that might be interesting, even fun, but really don't get you any farther to where you want to be.

 

As to your profession….what areas or aspects of what you currently do do you enjoy? What would you just as soon do without? If you had a magic wand how would you change your current profession? What is one thing that you could do NOW?

 

This line of questioning can be applied all areas of your life ….physically, mentally, spiritually, and relationally.

 

It all begins with a question …..start questioning !
