We cannot change people, circumstances or how people treat us. If we want to experience something different, we need to change ourselves - our responses, perspectives, questions we ask ourselves, our self talk or actions. That's the only thing we have absolute control over. Had a wonderful breakthrough with a client recently on what he really wanted to change in his life and he decided to take full ownership of it. As I reflected on my learning as a coach, these were my powerful questions I asked and I'm offering them to you too...
- What are five non-negotiable values in your life?
- What would you do if you were guaranteed success?
- What are the experiences you want to have?
- What are you doing that you don’t enjoy, and what are you doing that you love?
- What are the things that other people want you to do? What are the things that you want to do?
- So, what do you really really want in your life?
Change the questions you ask yourself and you will change your life!
