25 Questions that Provoke Thought

Published on 5:20 PM Category: Motivations in life

If the question makes you think, it’s worth asking.

What is it like to wake up every morning and pretend that you aren’t dying?
Do you believe in the death penalty? What if someone murdered your mother in cold blood? What if someone murdered a stranger’s mother, but saved your life the month before?
If you had a friend who spoke to you in the same way that you sometimes speak to yourself, how long would you allow that person to be your friend?
Would you rather be rich and paralyzed from the waist down or poor and able bodied?
What’s the most expensive gift you have ever received? Is it the best gift you have ever received?
When was the last time you lied? Is it possible to lie without saying anything at all?
Stealing is immoral, right? But what if stealing was the only way to feed a starving child?
If I gave you $20, what percentage would you – really – save? If I gave you $200,000, what percentage would you save? Should there be a difference?
If someone could tell you the exact day and time that you are going to die, would you want them to tell you?
If you found out you were going to die today, would you have any regrets? Would you be happy with the way you spent the last 24 hours of your life?
What’s your single greatest moment of personal failure? Looking back on it now, did it make you weaker or stronger? What did you learn?
Do the words ‘freedom’ and ‘liberty’ mean not being persecuted or discriminated against, or do they mean doing whatever you please?
Have you ever discriminated against someone? Imagine that a street gang notorious for wearing purple shirts has robbed and murdered several hundred people in your town. If a man wearing a purple shirt just rang your doorbell, would you answer it?
Is it crazier to choose to be poor or to spend 40 years of your life hating 40 hours a week?
Do you ever feel like you don’t have enough time? How many hours a week do you spend watching TV, or playing video games, or…?
Do you ever celebrate the green lights?
If you could be given another talent or ability, what would you want it to be? Have you ever – really – tried to perfect this ability in yourself?
No matter how bad things get, are you aware that someone always has it worse than you do?
When you help someone, do you ever think, “What’s in it for me?”
Joy is found with simple awareness. What does your joy look like today?
What’s the difference between ‘living’ and ‘existing?’
Are you willing to sacrifice the life of your child or lover to support a war?
Do you ask enough questions, or do you settle for what you know?
If you could do it all over again, would you change anything?
If your life was a novel, what would be the title and how would your story end?

If you can start the day without caffeine;
If you can get going without pep pills;
If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains;
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles;
If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it;
If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time;
If you can forgive a friend's lack of consideration;
If you can overlook it when those you love take it out on you when,
through no fault of your own, something goes wrong;
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment;
If you can ignore a friend's limited education and never correct him;
If you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend;
If you can face the world without lies and deceit;
If you can conquer tension without medical help;
If you can relax without liquor;
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs;
If you can honestly say that deep in your heart you have no prejudice
against creed or color, religion or politics; then, my friend, you are
almost as good as your dog.

One Decision that Changes Everything

Money
Success
Freedom
Happiness
Glory

Mmmm. YUM. Sounds good doesn’t it?
And yet very few people ever live to become the success story they dream about.
Why?
Because all successful people have one excruciatingly simple thing in common.
And it’s the only thing that’s stopping you from being insanely, abundantly, super successful.

Taking Action

Successful people take action.
That’s it.
“Take action? Yeah, right!” It sounds too simple, doesn’t it?
Yeah, it does. But don’t be fooled. It is that simple. So before you stop reading this and go back to your blurry life of mediocrity, listen up.
Most people live in a complete daze. Actually, they don’t LIVE. They just ‘get by’ because they never take the necessary action to make things happen – to seek their dreams. Does this sound like someone you know?
But successful people…
They’re ALIVE. They make things happen because they take action.
They have that look in their eyes – undiluted determination and infinite appetite for possibility.
They live in constructive flow, always looking for a way – always taking the next logical step.

Productive Positivity

When you constructively move forward with a positive outlook on life, all of the self-induced barriers dissolve and you get out of your own way. Nothing feels impossible and you see potential and possibility in everything because you’re not limiting your focus with destructive negativity.
Successful people constantly live in a state of productive positivity. They don’t settle and they aren’t scared to fail. They try, and fail, and try again until they succeed. Because they know it’s possible, even if they haven’t yet figured out how.
Everything they do is soaked in a deep personal desire to move things forward.
They live for the feeling of accomplishment. You know this feeling…
It’s the feeling of complete immersion in what you’re doing – when you tickle your own brilliance and the distinction between ‘you’ and the task at hand blurs until it’s complete. It’s those moments when you’re taking action and constructively flowing with life instead of aimlessly stumbling through it.
I know you’ve felt it. Maybe not often enough, but you have.

Ask Yourself

In every situation there is always a ‘most constructive’ path to choose.
Whether you’re running a business, having a conversation, walking down the street and see someone you’d like to meet, or even just entertaining yourself by browsing online – there’s always a constructive path.
Ask yourself, “What can I do right now that will make me more successful in my own eyes?”
The interesting thing is that as you ask yourself this question, little electrochemical fireworks explode in your mind and illuminate your entire being with the feeling of what success will be like. Your mind automatically cycles through all the possible situations that will result from the different choices for an action that you take.
So ask yourself the question and think about what will help you move forward with your goals. Immerse yourself in thought. What is it that you really want? And what choice can you make right now that will help you get one step closer?

Momentum Builds

After awhile your mind will become trained to subconsciously think about success, so when you have a little time and are deciding what to do, that image of success that came up will poke its head into your plans and make you think twice about zoning out in front of the T.V.
Sure, sometimes it’ll be a small action like reading a book, but momentum builds and as you begin to feel the possibilities for success, you’ll stop limiting what you deem ‘possible’ and you start taking on bigger projects and more promising endeavors.
And as you do it more and more, it becomes less of a question and more of an overall state of being where all you will want to do is move forward towards success. And it feels really good. It brings purpose into your life.
And it doesn’t have to be just material success – deciding to read for pleasure, meditate, exercise, or spend time with a loved one are all valid decisions toward success. The definition of success, after all, is up to you.
But more than anything, success hinges on the simple act of making a decision to live – to absorb yourself in the process of going after your goals.
So make that decision…
And take action.

Response from the teacher:

Dear Michael,

Every year I attempt to boost my students' final grades by giving them this relatively simple exam consisting of 100 True or False questions from only 3 chapters of material. For the past 20 years that I have taught Intro Communications 101 at this institution I have never once seen someone score below a 65 on this exam. Consequently, your score of a zero is the first in history and ultimately brought the entire class average down a whole 8 points.

There were two possible answer choices: A (True) and B (False). You chose C for all 100 questions in an obvious attempt to get lucky with a least a quarter of the answers. It's as if you didn't look at a single question. Unfortunately, this brings your final grade in this class to failing. See you next year!

May God have mercy on your soul.

Sincerely,
Professor William Turner

P.S. If all else fails, go with B from now on.
B is the new C

Four Steps to Change Your Life – With Books

Published on 1:51 PM Category: Motivations in life

Tweet

నచ్చితే నలుగురికి చెప్పండి...నచ్చక పొతే వదిలి పడేయండి ....!

The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can’t read them. - Mark Twain (attributed)

How many books are on your shelf collecting dust?

As a coach, educator and self professed life-long learner, I believe that books are one of the very best bargains around – with years of experience and best practice crammed into a $20 package.

However, that doesn’t mean you should read indiscriminately. A book may only cost you $20.00, but the cost of your time to read it may be significantly higher. If your time is worth $100+ dollars per hour, then reading a book must be worth thousands of dollars to make it worthwhile

Here are four suggestions to make the most of the current books on your bookshelf, and, the future books you plan to read:

Choose the Right Books
By choosing books which are aligned with your professional and personal goals, you will be feeding your mind great thoughts that will fill you with the knowledge for greater achievement.

“The only books that influence us are those for which we are ready, and which have gone a little farther down our particular path than we have yet got ourselves.” - E.M. Forster

Underline or Highlight Key Points
Look for points that hit the mark with your specific interest or needs. This lets you filter through the different messages so you can narrow your focus to ideas that will be useful to you.

From Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us by Daniel Pink, I took these key points:
- Autonomy – having the ability to influence our world
- Mastery – continuing to grow, evolve and learn
- Purpose – the importance of meaningful work and contributing to our world
Our work should fulfill those three areas. As a coach, I’m supporting people in their personal and professional journeys on the road to mastery. I work with people seeking meaning in their lives as parents and as business people. The three above points are highly relevant to what I do.

Put the Book Away – Then Review
Once you’ve finished reading, put the book away for at least a week and then go back over the items which you’ve underlined and place an asterisk (*) or other symbol next to the top ideas for future follow up.

Once a week has passed, review all the * items and then create a list of follow up actions you will take to execute on these ideas. There’s no point capturing these valuable ideas if you don’t have a follow up action plan. Capturing these valuable ideas without a follow up action plan is worthless.

Good action items involve the development of a specific project, with an end goal in mind – for instance, “become healthier and fitter.”

Your goal should:
- Be specific (e.g. “lose weight”)
- Be measurable (e.g. “lose 10 lbs”)
- Have a time frame (e.g. “lose 10lbs by summer vacation”)
Your action items should be clear tasks, like “remove all trans fats from home” or “buy fruit and veg every Saturday morning.”

Open Up Your Calendar
Put these new, actionable items into your calendar. Make sure that you block out sufficient time to complete these priorities.

It takes time to establish a new behavior: you need to engage with it consistently until you’ve created a habit. Remember that it’s better to do a few things well than to do many things badly: if you were digging oil wells, you’d want to have a few deep ones rather than lots of shallow ones.

Look for actions which you can repeat on a daily or weekly basis. For daily actions, you might want to create an easy way to record your progress – e.g. by using a food log to monitor your portion sizes and your fruit and veg intake.

This is what happens when you play too much videos games. You have a hard time differentiating the virtual world and the real world.
