Bruce Higgins Jr "Live the life you wish you had"

This is your chance to live the life you wish you had.

You could close down this article right now, pretend that you never saw it, and go on living your life as usual – but when do you plan on challenging yourself to live an even ‘bigger’, more meaningful, more fulfilling and deeper life?

You see, many of us live our lives on autopilot.

We are no longer piloting and steering our life and rather, we get into patterned and routined ways of living.

The worst part is – we stop challenging ourselves to live a meaningful life – and we ‘settle’ for a comfortable life.

If you feel that you are living on autopilot, then perhaps it’s time you asked yourself a few important questions.

We often avoid asking ourselves ‘thought provoking’ questions because they could potentially push us out of our comfort zone.

Once you become aware of the things in your life that require change – you become conflicted and can no longer pretend that everything is fine the way it is.

The good news is that it’s never too late to change the direction of your life, to do something meaningful and to feel completely fulfilled in life.

These 101 thought provoking questions are the first step to realizing what you need to change and do differently in your life.

Make sure you really dig deep and don’t avoid difficult or conflicting emotions – these are necessary to provoke the much needed change in your life.

That’s what you want!

By taking the time and effort to ask yourself these questions (and answer them), you will most certainly be able to find more depth to your life.

If we always avoided questions that provoke change in our lives, we would stay in the same place! We wouldn’t move forward and find deeper meaning and fulfillment, but rather feel rather empty inside.

Just remember – We only live life once but if we do it right, once is enough.

So I challenge you….make the most of all your precious moments in life.

Once their gone, you can never get them back.

Push yourself further and ask yourself all sorts of thought provoking questions so that you can live a rich, meaningful and fulfilling life!
