Powerful & Inspiring Questions to Ask on Special Occasions & Read on Down Days

January 3rd, 2010

It’s that time of year when people are reflecting on the past, envisioning the future, making resolutions, and asking deep questions.

I a previous post I shared someone’s recommendation that we think in terms of Results, Not Resolutions. I agreed enough that I posted it.

Then I got an email from someone I’ve worked with this past year with excellent results while working directly with him and afterward – that’s the sign of a great coach or consultant. What they teach gets absorbed, integrated, and used by the coachee far into their future. Thank you, Curtis.

Before I hand the baton to Curtis, I want to suggest you use his questions or any that inspire and motivate you on special occasions in addition to, or instead of at the New Year, like your birthday, a different new year’s beginning like Rosh Hashanah or the Chinese New Year, the day you started your business, or some other day that holds special significance for you.

Keep your answers handy so you can read them on a down day… Whatever the reason, whatever the cause ( you’re tired; sick; just got ‘bad news’ which means you just haven’t had a chance to see the silver lining yet) whatever the reason you’re in a fear storm; questioning yourself, your vision, mission, and purpose; having doubts about your abilities, talents and strengths.

Trust me, even the most energetic, positive, optimistic, confident among us have these moments.

It’s in those moments we need to remember who we really are, why where really here and what we’re here to do.

So let Curtis’ questions inspire you to go deep within, to touch your very heart and soul. Capture in writing or maybe make an audio or video recording of yourself sharing your deepest truths so you can tap into them on a rainy day.

Happy New Year!
