not sure what you want from life? these 7 questions that can serve as your guide

Being clear about what you desire and need to feel happier is so important because it is one of the first steps towards a better life filled with self esteem. If you are still trying to decide what it is you truly want in life, then here are some great questions to ask yourself:

1. What interests excite you the most?

Think about what your real passion and desire is. Remember the times when you were really interested and excited by something you were doing. Think about why you enjoyed it so much. It probably makes you feel good to remember. Choosing to do what you like is good for your self esteem and is the key to your happiness. Once you are able to pinpoint the things you truly enjoy doing, and pay attention to how these hobbies motivate you, you may soon notice you have a better idea of what it is you want in life and how you might be able to obtain it.

2. What are you biggest successes in life?

No matter how small, list your most important achievements. This will raise your confidence and help you feel better about yourself. Acknowledging your successes is a good place to start because it highlights your talents and strengths and can guide you to where you need to go next. Don’t be too harsh on yourself. Giving yourself credit for even the simplest of accomplishments can help you feel better and set you up for bigger and better accomplishments.

3. If anything were possible, what would you choose to do and what would you want your life to be like?

This question will enable you to start dreaming and imagining the possibilities. If you wish to improve your life, then first you must imagine what is possible. Forget the limits you believe hold you back or stop you, most of these are in your mind and not real limitations. You need to dream big to achieve big.

4. What are your goals?

You need to get clear and write your goals down. Anything that comes to mind, write it out as a goal and forget your mind’s objections. If you only have two goals and achieve half that is only one success, so go for it. At the end of the day, whether you believe it right now or not, your mind is the only thing standing between you and your dreams.

5. Who is the person you most respect?

It is important to have a model, someone to look up to. This will enable you to understand that you can overcome problems and do what seems impossible, as others have before. Also, you can also understand more about yourself and the values you have because you can see them in the person you have chosen.

6. What don’t you like to do?

It is important to realize what you do not like and do not want in order to figure out what you do want in your life. It is important to remember what it is that you are truly passionate about in life and to separate this from things that you may be convinced into doing but you don’t actually enjoy. Don’t let this become negative though, treat it as a list of the things you want to remove from your life to make it better and to move closer to your dream.

7. How will you commit to getting everything you want?

This is often the hardest step because problems will come, and you must not give up. You need a positive attitude. One of the biggest problems is fear. You have to be strong and have support to fight this when doubt arrives, as it will. Decide how committed you are to your life changes and be 100% determined to work to bring about positive changes in your life. Remember that most successful people don’t focus on the negative, they are both realistic and have an optimistic attitude.
