Often times our life stories and the various chapters of our life stories are written based upon the questions that we ask ourselves. Some people may be reading this an wonder what in the world I’m talking about.
The reality for most of us, is that we participate in self-talk and ask ourselves questions all of the time. Can I Do This? If I do this, what will happen? Do I have what it takes? Will I ever…?
We have to change the way we think and begin to ask new questions:
Instead of asking: Where will I be in 5 years?
Ask: Where will I be next month or next quarter? The answer to those questions will pave the way for where you will be in 5 years.
Instead of asking: If I do so and so, will I make so and so happy?
Ask: If I do so and so with a great attitude, great effort and with integrity will it make God happy?
Instead of asking: What if I try to stop the sin or break the habit and I’m unsuccessful?
Ask: What if I try to stop the sin or break the habit and I succeed?
Instead of asking: How can I make myself look good?
Ask: How can I make others look good?
Instead of asking: What if I’m wrong?
Ask: What if I’m right?
Instead of asking: Why am I not getting the opportunities and promotions?
Ask: What can I do to get better?
Instead of asking: What does so and so think and say about me?
Ask: What does God think and say about me?
Instead of asking: What if I fail?
Ask: What if I don’t fail?
Do you need to ask some new questions? Do you think the questions that we ask ourselves, affect our life stories?
