30 Questions to Ask Yourself to Stay Motivated and Enlightened

Have you ever sit alone and tried breathing to the deepest of your lungs, calming your racing nerves and hearing the things you often ignore? If you haven’t, then spare a time sit and try reaching the state of mind that is free from craving, anger, and other painful states. Now pose the following questions to yourself and seek some honest answers. Questioning yourself is the best way to ensure what you are doing is right and that you prepare yourself to accept the present and create action-plan for the future ahead.
1. How would you plan and live your life if you did not have much time in your hands?
2. How would you like to be remembered by your friends, family and society?
3. Do you forgive people for their mistakes?“Considering the fact that you have forgiven yourself for several mistakes. Then, why is it easy to forgive yourself but difficult to forgive others?”
4. If love is the economy of heart, then how would you spend it to treat the hatred and agony of mankind?
5. Have you ever tried to overcome your fears with one brave decision or courageous step?
6. Love and fear are two motivating forces; one is positive and the other is negative, which one has always proved to be actively stronger in you?

19. Where would like to see yourself in 5 or 6 years? Have you planned accordingly?
