“Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers.” – Tony Robbins
Your mind will respond to any question you ask it. If you ask, “Why am I such a loser?” or “Why do I always screw everything up?” – you will get an answer. On the other hand, if you ask the right question, you’ll get an answer to it as well. Just skimming over these questions isn’t going to do as much for you as actually pondering them. If you don’t want to do all of them, just take a few and really try to think of an answer. You might be surprised at the reverberations they can create in your life.
