7 Fundamental Questions to Revisit Every Decade
1. What is real?
How much of what I believe to be real comes from my own experience, and how much have I accepted from others? Am I seeing the world as it is, or as I have been taught to see it?
2. Who am I when nobody is watching?
Who am I without an audience, expectations, recognition or the need to be liked? What remains of my identity when there is no one to impress?
3. What do I truly desire?
What would I pursue if I were free from comparison, fear of judgement and the pressure to meet other people's expectations? Am I building a life I actually want, or one that simply looks right from the outside?
4. What am I avoiding?
Which conversation, decision, truth or change do I keep postponing? Maybe it doesn't seem like avoiding, you are always tired to go out or to do something the weekend, the bank account you don't look at or the payment you wait til the end to pay.
5. What gives my life meaning?
What makes you feel alive, excited and full of energy? Which activities, people and environment brings the best of you? Where do you find your creativity and makes you dream?
6. What is out of my control?
Be aware to focus on what you can control, and for that notice what is not in your control in your life. If there are things you don't control that you don't like, the only way is to get apart from it. Don't resist it, don't try to change it.
7. What part of me must die for another to be born?
Think of the goal, who is that person, how she acts. From that list what activities, hobbies, movements, ways of thinking and align yourself to that.
