Questions have the power to shift your focus instantly and fill you with energy and inspiration. The first thing you need to do is identify the questions you are currently asking yourself. Which questions consume you on a daily basis? Are they productive? If not, change your questions. You control the questions you ask.

Use questions to stay focused on your new direction in life. Throughout the day, ask yourself, “What is my purpose?” “What are my core priorities?” and “What is my story?” Avoid distractions by asking, “What is the most important thing I can do right now?” and “Will this matter in a year from now?” Stay positive by asking, “What’s great about this situation right now?” Use quality questions to get quality answers and quality results.
