Answer Life Changing Questions

May I ask you a question? Well, actually, I’m going to ask you eight powerful, life-changing questions. These questions are designed to make you take an honest look within yourself and the life you have created for yourself thus far. When answered truthfully, these questions will create a radical shift within you and will propel you forward towards your goals and dreams - the life you were meant to live.

Questions are very important. They require you to get silent within, to listen to the inner voice of reason. The questions that you ask yourself on a continual basis control your destiny. They control your future. Questions create decisions, and your decisions control the actions that you take on a daily basis. So, without further adieu…

Question #1 – What are your daily decisions? The daily decisions that you make either move you forward to success or keep you stuck in a mediocre existence.

God wants you to prosper! Are you living up to your full potential? Are you following your goals and dreams, or are you allowing the masses to make your decisions for you? Your daily decisions are either helping you or hurting you. REALLY ask yourself “Are the decisions that I’ve been making on a daily basis keeping me stuck in a rut” or “Are my daily decisions helping me to create the life of my dreams?”

Your daily decisions encompass every area of your life not just your finances. Take a moment to think about the daily decisions that you make for yourself - spiritually, socially, mentally and physically. Do you take care of your body, mind, and spirit? When’s the last time you exercised? I exercise every single day, because I care about and honor my body. When my body is unhealthy, my mind is unclear and unfocused. I honor the body that God gave me.

Ali Vincent, a 32-year-old hairdresser from Mesa, Ariz., lost more than half her body weight during the television show, The Biggest Loser, and won $250,000 for her efforts. She was tired of being overweight and made a decision to apply for the show. When she was chosen as a contestant, Ali began declaring that she would be the first female Biggest Loser. The power of spoken words and her decision to lose weight pushed her to the top. During the 2008 season finale, Ali was presented with the title of the first female Biggest Loser. Later she was quoted as saying “I'm going to continue to go for what I want. My physical being is a direct representation of what I feel inside, which is strong and confident and beautiful.” Her life is changed forever, because of her daily decisions.

Who are the people that you hang out with on a daily basis? Are they motivators? Are they people that you admire? OR Are they losers? Are they people whose only enjoyment comes from arriving home from their J.O.B. and watching television? According to the A.C. Nielsen Co., the average American watches more than four hours of television each day. That’s twenty-eight hours per week, or two months of nonstop TV-watching per year. In a sixty-five year life, that person will have spent nine years glued to the tube. That same person will moan and complain about their life, but did absolutely nothing to change it. Does this sound like some of your friends? If so, it’s time for you to make some decisions about your associations.

Proverbs 11:14 says “Where no wise guidance is, the people fall, but in the multitude of counselors there is safety.” You have to surround yourself with people that provide you with wisdom and guidance. Make a decision today to build a mastermind team of positive people that believe in you and your dreams.

Your physical fitness and social network are just two areas of your life that you make daily decisions about that shape the rest of your life. What about the other areas? What decisions are you making today that will predict your future?
