IT’S YOUR LIFE

Starting out the week, some questions to ponder…..

1) Do you like your life?

2) Do you like your work?

3) Are you engaged with what you do and see yourself doing it for years to come?

4) If you are in a relationship is it the one you want to be in? Do you really love the person you are with? Are you a better you with this person in your life?

5) If you are alone are you happy that way? Some people are. If not, what can you do to attract people to you so you can form a connection? Or what might you be doing that keeps people away?

6) Do you feel you give back enough?

7) Do you take enough time for you?

8) Are there people in your life who add nothing and in fact are actually a negative presence? Do you have the courage to let them go? What would your world look like if they were not there?

9) Do you know who your real friends are? Have they been put to the test and failed? If they failed then are they your friends?

10) Do you believe in a being greater than yourself? If so does this give you comfort? If not are you comfortable with that?

11) If you died today what would be your biggest regret? Can you fix it before it’s too late?

I don’t have your answers. Just thought I would pose the questions.

Good questions Tracy!
Sometimes it takes a lifetime to answer them. More and more I realize that the sooner you answer them the fuller you life can be.
Death is always around the corner so let’s get with it.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and time with us.

For #8 My quality of life improved greatly after I got the courage to let go of some old friendships that were mostly “bitch sessions.”

For #11 Biggest regret would be not having paid my most recent installment for my life insurance. This is not a joke. I’m putting the check in today’s mail. Thank you for the reminder.

What you say is so true Janine, having the courage to release the people who either bring you down, make you feel badly about yourself or as my friend Susan so eloquently says, “are not safe people” definitely improves the quality of your life.
Good for you on the insurance. Those things are really important. Thank you for writing in.

wow, tough questions, most of them I ask myself on every birthday. I don’t take enough time for myself, I’m a compulsive, control freak workaholic. I managed to surround myself with positive people and I feel good about that, nobody’s dragging me down because I won’t let it happen. Totally someone greater than us – I feel good about it. OMG, there’s so many things I want to do before I die – travel the world is my main desire.
Great posting, great questions

Love your questions. #11 really rings for me. Have you read the book, The Five Secrets You Must Discover Before You Die, by John Izzo? It really speaks to this.
It’s so important to check in with ourselves often to keep tuned in to what really matters and see if where we’re headed is on track with who we authentically are.
Thanks for this post.
