20 Empowering
Questions for
Personal
Growth
The quality of your life is in direct
proportion to the quality of the
questions you ask yourself.
~Anthony Robbins
Emotionally Resilient Living
Questions have the ability to
change your focus in an instant,
transforming your mindset from
limiting to self empowering. In
fact as soon as you ask a question,
your mind will immediately
begin searching for an answer …
sometimes taking you to
wonderfully unexpected places.
If you’re not happy with the
answers you’re getting, maybe it’s
time to reconsider your questions.
What do I really love
in life? How can I have
more of this?
The more thankful you are for the
things in your life, the more things
you will attract to be thankful for.
#1
Do the things and
people in my life reflect
who I really am?
Once you experience true
happiness, you won't tolerate
being around things or people who
make you feel anything less.
#2
What is my biggest
fear? What do I need to
do to overcome it?
Do the thing you fear most, and
continue to do so ... this is the
quickest and surest way to
achieve victory over fear.
#3
Have I been settling
for “good enough” in
my life?
There is no passion to be found in
playing small - in settling for a life
that is less than the one you are
capable of living.
#4
How do I handle
adversity and
unexpected change?
Life doesn’t get easier or more
forgiving; we get stronger and more
resilient.
#5
When was the last time
I really challenged
myself?
If you want something you've never
had, you have to do something
you've never done.
#6
What can I do today
that I could not do a
year ago?
Never be afraid of growing slowly,
be afraid only of standing still.
#7
How do I define
my success?
Defining success on your own
terms is building a life you can
be proud of.
#8
What self limiting
beliefs have I been
clinging to?
Let go of limiting beliefs because
over time they have a way of
becoming self-fulfilling prophecies.
#9
Do I have healthy
personal boundaries?
Boundaries are not about
controlling others, they are
guidelines to show what is (and is
not) acceptable in your life.
#10
What motivates me to
do and be my very best?
People become quite remarkable
when they start to believe in
themselves.
#11
What are my top 5 core
values and am I (truly)
living them each day?
Values are like fingerprints,
nobody’s are the same, but you
leave them all over everything
you do.
#12
Who do I think
I am? Who do I want to
become?
Defining yourself as opposed to
being defined by others is one
of the hardest challenges
you’ll ever face.
#13
What am I really good
at? What would I like to
get really good at?
The capacity to learn is a gift, the
willingness to learn is a choice.
#14
Who in my life have
I been taking for
granted?
We often take for granted the
very things (and people) that most
deserve our gratitude
#15
What one thing do I
really want to do? What
am I waiting for?
The longer you wait for the future,
the shorter it will be.
#16
What are my top 3
priorities for the next
6 months?
We all have the same number of
hours in a day – your actions
express your priorities.
#17
What is the worst
decision I ever made?
What did I learn?
Most problems in life are because
we either act without thinking or
think without acting.
#18
Have I allowed
“shoulds” to get in the
way of my happiness?
Should is a debilitating word. It
combines the spirit of good
intention with a built-in disclaimer
of failure.
#19
If I make no changes
where do I see my life
in 5 years?
We shall have no better conditions
in the future if we are satisfied
with all those which we have
at present.
#20
There are no foolish
questions, and no man has
become a fool until he
stops asking questions.
~Charles P. Steinmetz
