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!

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. ...

Water Your Dreams

There’s an old saying by Lao Tzu that says: "Be careful what you water your dreams with. Water them with worry and fear, and you will produce weeds that choke the life from your dream. Water them with optimism and solutions, and you will cultivate success." We all have dreams, and it's a good thing. The spirit needs to believe in something higher and bigger. The most important thing in life is to work a little bit every day on your dream. It doesn't matter if it's 15 minutes or 2 hours. Every day, we must make progress on our dream. Every day, we need to water our dreams for them to grow. You'll be amazed at how far your dreams can take you when you do something small in their direction on a daily basis. Every day, invest at least 15 minutes and make progress on a dream you have. Even if it's crazy. It could be reading a book, sending an email, doing a Google search, making a phone call, writing the first line of the book you dream to write. Any...

The Power Of Clarity

Today, I want to use a popular place in the world to illustrate the power of clarity. Even if you've not been there, you'd probably be aware that the average fat cat in Nigeria is obsessed about travelling to Dubai, either for business or vacation. 40 years ago, Dubai had no roads, no real economy, and was at the bridge of collapsing. It was through the incredible leadership of its leader that Dubai became a global success. While most countries in the west are experiencing slow growth and political turmoil, Dubai is experiencing growth, prosperity, and global influence. One major key to the success of Dubai is 'the power of clarity'. Everybody in Dubai was and is focused on creating economic prosperity for the country. They’re not trying to do 100 things at the same time. Their prime chief objective is the prosperity of their country, or to say it bluntly: selling and marketing Dubai as a world hub and top destination. Their leaders are not was...
