The Power Of Questions In order to change anything in your life, you must be willing to ask yourself the right questions. Questions control your focus.  In fact, the ?rst part of the word “question”, implies that you go on a journey for answers:  QUEST-ion.   So go on your quest.  Ask yourself some questions.  And while you’re doing it, make them empowering questions rather than dis-empowering questions. Instead of asking the types of dis-empowering questions that most people ask, such as: • • • • “Why does this always happen to me?” “How come I can’t ever catch a lucky break and get the roles I audition for?” “Why is everyone else so much better than I am at playing ping pong?” “I can’t lose any weight, for goodness sake, what do I have to do to lose 20 pounds!?!” Try asking yourself some empowering questions that shatter your limiting beliefs and get you in a peak state of mind... Such as: • “What can I do differently next time in order to come back stronger than ever?” • “What have I learned from this audition that I can utilize to sharpen my skills and better my chances of getting the next role that I audition for? • “How do I learn from people who are awesome at ping pong in order to become just as (or even better) than they are? • “How can I get into the best physical shape of my life and enjoy the process while I’m doing it?” Empowering questions move you forward rather than backwards. They help you achieve the greatness that you desire, and get you closer to achieving what you want. Here are some more examples: • What am I truly Passionate about doing?  (with your life, career, relationships, etc.) • What must I do in order to achieve the level of ful?llment that I desire in my life? • Which areas of my life must I change and make progress within in order to achieve the level of satisfaction that I know I deserve and desire?
