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.

Hopefully after reading these
questions, your mind is going absolutely crazy with all sorts of thoughts and
ideas.
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!
