This is your chance to live the life you wish you had. You could close down this article right now, pretend that you never saw it, and go on living your life as usual – but when do you plan on challenging yourself to live an even ‘bigger’, more meaningful, more fulfilling and deeper life? You see, many of us live our lives on autopilot. We are no longer piloting and steering our life and rather, we get into patterned and routined ways of living. The worst part is – we stop challenging ourselves to live a meaningful life – and we ‘settle’ for a comfortable life. If you feel that you are living on autopilot, then perhaps it’s time you asked yourself a few important questions. We often avoid asking ourselves ‘thought provoking’ questions because they could potentially push us out of our comfort zone.
Once you become aware of the things in your life that require change – you become conflicted and can no longer pretend that everything is fine the way it is.
The good news is that it’s never too late to change the direction of your life, to do something meaningful and to feel completely fulfilled in life.
These 101 thought provoking questions are the first step to realizing what you need to change and do differently in your life.
Make sure you really dig deep and don’t avoid difficult or conflicting emotions – these are necessary to provoke the much needed change in your life.
Quiet desperation is a great way to describe it Ken, as I too have observed this in far too many friends, family and business colleagues. And indeed, it all has to do with “settling”versus taking risks or venturing beyond a particular comfort zone. Unfortunate for them, as the rewards are simply beyond words…
I have long argued that the majority of people live their lives in some form of quiet desperation.
Wishing they had done something or some things in the past. Wishing they hadn’t said something, or done something.
Disappointment in their family or career.
But, settling for a comfort zone and chugging along in their rut of life.
