The Right Questions

Ah yes... I didn't share the Right Questions yesterday from Debbie Ford's book (The Right Questions)... haven't actually read that part of the book yet... But supposedly asking yourself these questions when faced with a choice will dodge the excuse and rationalization bullet and make it clear which action will ultimately move your forward... Would be interesting to try this for a month or so...

1. Will this choice propel me toward an inspiring future OR will it keep me stuck in the past?
2. Will this choice bring me long-term fulfillment OR will it bring me short-term gratification?
3. Am I standing in my power OR am I trying to please another?
4. Am I looking for what's right OR am I looking for what's wrong?
5. Will this choice add to my life force OR will it rob me of my energy?
6. Will I use this situation as a catalyst to grow and evolve OR will I use it to beat myself up?
7. Does this choice empower me OR does it disempower me?
8. Is this an act of self-love OR is it an act of self-sabotage?
9. Is this an act of faith OR Is it an act of fear?
10. Am I choosing from my divinity OR am I choosing from my humanity?

Supposedly these questions bypass the intellect and the emotions and if you ask yourself these questions, you will know the choice that will bring you life and the choice that will dim your flame...

Obviously, you're not going to ask all of these questions in a split second, but... even one or two will provide the results... Are these Cheezies going to bring me long-term fulfillment or short-term gratification?? Sigh... we know the answer to that! The question then is... am I person who is committed to living in the light, to feeding my flame, OR am I person committed to dimming my flame... Who am I really?? Who do I want to be?? Do I have a vision of where my life is going, or am I operating on auto-pilot??? She has a whole chapter on waking up from autopilot.... Yup, shift out of autopilot and zombie zone and living in a rut into something else, something that calls me to make choices that propel me out of the rut and into creating life rather than surviving life...
