“It is not the answer that enlightens, but the question.” --
Decouvertes.
We’re empowered when we go inside to seek our own answers rather than
look to others for direction. When we ask ourselves empowering
questions, we invite our wise self to respond. So believe in your own
wisdom. If that’s not yet possible, simply open to the possibility that
you have the answers you need inside of you. Go exploring!
These questions are also powerful tools to support others to move
forward in their lives. Pose these questions to someone who’s stuck and
without direction. Challenge them. Encourage them. Show you care. Could
you make this commitment to them? “If you are willing to make a sincere
commitment to help yourself, then I am willing to make a commitment to
support you and to check in on a regular basis.”
1. What is holding you back from getting what you want? What are you
going to do about it?
2. What do you want and WHY do you want it? Keep asking “why?” until
your answer comes deep from within your heart.

for your life to feel fulfilled? How can you experience that quality
now?
5. When you say you do not know the answer to a question, ask yourself,
“If I did know, what would it be?” We all have our own answers in us. We
often don’t take the time and attention to draw them out.
6. If you had only three months to live, what would be most important
for you to do? (How about one week to live?) It’s important to do it
now!
7. How would you spend your time if you did not need to work? What’s
most meaningful to you?
8. How did you attract this situation into your life? What are you to
learn from it? Take responsibility for what’s happening.
9. If you wrote your own book, straight from your heart, what would the
book’s title be? What would you cover in the 7 main chapters? We are all
here to give back in some way.
10. What skills and talents do you have to offer your soul for its work?
11. If God had one key life question for you, for which the answer would
give your life purpose, what would it be?
12. What gives your life the most meaning?
