7 Questions To Ask Yourself In Difficult Times


In difficult times, it's important to take time to think. Don't get emotional. Instead, ask yourself good questions.

Good questions should make you think harder and deeper.
Good questions, for example, are:
  • What's really going on now? 
  • What can I improve right now? 
  • What's the real issue here? 
  • What could be a simple and easy solution? 
  • What am I avoiding here? 
  • Who can help me? 
  • What can I do now to make progress?
Life is about problem-solving and taking action on your solution.

I used to always freak out when I faced challenges.
I still do sometimes, but I quickly calm myself and answer some of these good questions in writing.

Asking yourself good questions and writing the answers help you clarify your thoughts, which will calm you down.

The beauty of this is it will also make you more proficient at solving your problems.
For example, you'll start noticing patterns, like avoiding certain things or common recurring root problems.

It's very powerful.

Have an amazing day!

Ignite Your Creativity

Your life is like an ongoing work of art. The canvas of your life begins with your family; and your experiences, setbacks, and triumphs play a part in forming who you become. And as long as you live, your life will continue to be a form of artistic creation. Creativity is often narrowly defined by creative works, such as books, paintings, and music. But creativity encompasses so much more than the works we create. Living a creative life also involves the thought, energy, and time we devote to problem-solving and creating the life we’ve been given to live. So stop delineating creativity only along aesthetic lines. Get out of your comfort zone and find solution to problems. Reflect on ways of adding value to human existence. Stop complaining about issues and start innovating. Develop new ideas. Implement new processes. Devise new methods of doing things or making things work. When you get stuck, get out of your work space and go for a walk. Leverage synergy where practicable. Your crea...

Focus On The First Step

If you ask me if success in life is easy to come by, I'll simply tell you the obvious: NO! But if you focus on the first step of whatever you want to achieve, the most difficult part would have been taken care of. Here is an interesting story to buttress my point. One day, I was at a camp meeting and I met this aspiring writer. I asked him how his book was coming along. "I didn't really getting started… I'm not sure my stuff will be good enough…" He was so insecure about his writing that he didn't even START writing anything. It's hard to become good at something you don't practice. I just explained to him that what really matters is taking the first step. The first step is really all that matters. If you can be the man or woman who always takes the first step, you become a force of nature. That's a really counter-intuitive secret to success. Every success I've had in my life was created because I took this first step. ...
