5 of The Most Important Questions Anyone Could Ever Ask Themselves

While
the following questions might seem obvious to some curious ponderers
out there, like myself, it has recently come to my attention that many
people simply do not consider these questions at all.
Perhaps this is
out of fear, perhaps this is because we are busy and tired, or perhaps
it is because of a pre-existing set of belief systems that currently
occupy our minds. Whatever the reason, these are very important
questions that we should be asking ourselves, specifically if we want
our time here on Earth, in this incarnation, to really count and fill
our lives with meaning and purpose.
Have you asked yourself the following questions?
1. What Happens When We Die?
While it is pretty well impossible to
know for sure what the answer to this question is, asking yourself and
evaluating your thoughts around it can definitely have a fairly
significant impact on how you live your life everyday. If you believe
that we either go to heaven or hell, than certainly you will do your
best to live a sin free life. If you believe that we go back to Source, also known as, All That Is, God or the Universe,
then maybe you will see that our lives are similar to school, full of
lessons all designed to help us grow and evolve for the next time we
incarnate here, or somewhere else. And if you happen to be agnostic,
then surely you will want to make the absolute most out of this one life
you are given and live it to the fullest!
Whatever your beliefs happen to be, this
is an important question to ponder and a great one to bring up in
conversation with a group of friends – just be careful not to offend
anyone
2. Why Are We Here?
Again, really there is no way to know
with absolute certainty what the answer to this question is, however,
that does not take away from just how important it is for us to ask
ourselves. Why are we here? What is the point of all of this? Are we
merely just highly evolved bacteria that has conjured up this grand idea
that we are actually much more important than we really are? Or is
there a deeper reason as to why we feel that we have a purpose and our
existence here is not just by mere chance or the result of meteoroids
crashing into our planet, billions of years ago?
Are we here to love? Are we here to
learn? Are we here to do good? Are we here to grow? Are we here to
experience life at its fullest? Life is full of duality, and at the very
least, our time here is extremely experientially rich, which gives us
many different experiences to assist our growth as well as challenge us
to do better. But what is the reason to you?
Asking this question for yourself can
help you understand just how important you are and can cultivate
gratitude for such an opportunity to be here, and to be alive right NOW.
3. What Is My Purpose?
Ahhh… that good old feeling that I
must be here for a reason! I was given this life to do something good,
now if I could just put my finger on what that might be…
This question reminds me of the lovely story, The Alchemist,
written by popular author, Paulo Coelho. It’s a story about a boy
named Santiago, and he’s on a journey for a treasure, as well as to
discover his own Personal Legend. A personal legend is
something we all have, and is what gives our life meaning, it is why we
are here. Everyone has a unique gift to offer to the world, and it’s
usually something that truly makes us come alive. Knowing what this is
and embracing it to the fullest is exactly what the world needs.
I highly recommend the book mentioned
above to help inspire you to dig deep and to find out what your purpose
is here on this planet at this time, if you are still struggling to find
out. If you are, you’re not alone.
4. If Given The Opportunity, What Would You Say To Your 8-Year-Old Self?
I love this question, it’s also a fun
one to bring up in a group setting. It really gives you some great
hindsight into your life and an opportunity to reflect on what you may
have thought was important at the time versus what you now realize is
actually important. Also, while thinking about the answer to this
question, you may find it relevant in your life today.
I would say to my 8-year-old self:
Don’t worry, no matter what,
everything is going to be okay, don’t rush so much to grow up and enjoy
being a child as long as you can! You get much more time as an adult
than as a child, so soak it up, kiddo and enjoy it. Don’t forget to
play!
5. How is Your Relationship With Yourself?
“And if I asked you to name all the things that you love, how long would it take for you to name yourself?
Can you look into a mirror and say I
love you? If you can, this is wonderful! Keep it up. If you can’t, then
this is a great starting point to see that the relationship you have
with yourself needs to be addressed. The path to self-love is often a
lifelong journey, and like anything else, it can fluctuate. Regardless
of your belief systems or the answers to the previous questions,
self-love is so important and something that we should all work on.
Never forget that you, yourself are as deserving of your love, care, and attention as anyone else.
Mending the relationship you have with
yourself can impact many other areas of your life in a very positive
way, this might be the most important question for you to ask yourself
because it can have such a meaningful impact on the rest of your life!
