A question that makes you think is worth asking

At the cusp of a new day, week, month, or year, most of us take a little time to reflect on our lives by looking

back over the past and ahead into the future. We ponder the successes, failures and standout events that are

slowly scripting our lifes story. This process of self reflection helps us maintain a conscious awareness of where

weve been and where we intend to go. It is pertinent to the organization and preservation of our dreams, goals

and desires.

If you would like to maximize the benefits of self reflection, our new sister site, Thought Questions, is for you. Anew illustrated thought question is posted daily. We recommend that you read and reread these questions

regularly when you have some quiet time to think. After all, reflection is the key to progression.

Remember, these questions have no right or wrong answers. Because asking the right questions is the answer.

Heres a sample of 25 recent thought questions posted on the site:

Loved the wonderful presentation of these thought-provoking questions. The pictures added so much

depth to each one of them.

Thank you for sharing them

Wow excellent.

The first one really made me think. If I didnt know my age, what would I think I am. Very interesting.

Also, time or money. Always time.

Hey Marc!

Very creative and I love the picture! Thank you

Life is so fast-paced and sometimes we just get stuck in our routines and lose track of all the beautiful

things life has to offer. I feel that what matters most are our friends, family and making sure we really

enjoy our time on earth.

Have a great week

Indeed the pictorial depiction of all these thought-provoking questions is quite beautiful. I find number 20

to be a seed for thinking from a perspective people are not usually aware of (if you had a friend who

spoke to you in the same that you sometimes speak to yourself, how long would you allow that person to

be your friend?), but that more often than never happenswhy? maybe we like to think were uniqueespecially when were on the receiving side of things. I welcome each and everyone of you to challenge

my words, because Id really like your opinions on that.

What would you do differently if you knew no one would judge you?

What an amazing question.

I work on acting in spite of judgment all the time but if Im totally honest, I think I still hold back in some

areas due to fear of judgment.

I think you just have to make a point of working on getting over the fact that people like to judge and just

go ahead and take action anyways!

Hi Marc,

These are all great questions to ask ourselves!

I think my favorite one is probably #18:

If you could do it all over again, would you change anything?

This reminds me that decades from now I dont want to look back with regret. And I have found that we

are most likely to regret what we dont do.

Therefore, I want to live my life by going for it. Things may work out sometimes and may not work out at

other times, but I will have no regrets. And thats a good place to be.

Evelien


If not now, then when?

Love it!

Yari


These are definitely thought-provoking, and some will take some time to figure out in depth, but I aim to

answer them all. Thank you for sharing

SREEKUMAR.P.N.


awesome. all these questions have been asked by the humanity 4 centuries. but still the precise answers

are missing. they are picked up a creative mind ,beautifully packaged and garnished with appropriate

graphics.

Cath


Hi! Good day.

This is awesome. Thank you.

The difference between living and existence is nothing at all. If you are fully aware of your existence, then

you are living your life to the fullest

April 2nd, 2010 at 2:23 pm

What a wonderful post! These are all questions that we should ask ourselves every day upon waking up.

#9 is a big one for me and reading it just now has me thinking about whether or not I am in fact doing what

I know is right these days

Meg at Demanding Joy

awesome post, keep up the great work!

These are great questions Marc! Love them!

Some of them are hard to answer because there are too many possibilities to consider, and some are hard

because I really just dont have a good answer.

Thanks for making me think!

Love these, especially #1 and #20. Really makes you ponder about your life.

One I am thinking about now too is:

If you could change anything in your life right now, would you actually follow through with it?

Thanks for such inspirational messages.

Great site, although is it bad that my answer to question 20 would be not very long, she grumbles too

much. Oops!

Wow, really inspiring!

For the first time Ive found some internet written questions that I thought thery were interesting.

Really. How old would you be if you didnt know how old you are? nice. Or.. do we question ourselves for

instinct or did we just learn to do that? Never know.

Thanks!

We all should ask questions like them once in a while to get a better understanding of ourselves.

Dave Richardson

October 23rd, 2010 at 5:00 pm

I like how these sentiments are illustrated. My favourite one is the two questions:

Who do you love? What are you doing about it?

Thats worth asking daily to keep on track.

best questions.

Rich

December 21st, 2010 at 10:29 am

Re question 20- If someone could talk to me the same way I talk with myself I imagine Id feel finally

understand and be understood. Not sure what the intent of that question is. Deep communication and a

semantically similar map of reality would be wonderful

Hey Marc!

It seems this month is going to be entirely productivity related. Every post that you are sharing these days

makes me feel that where was i thinking when you could do this? As always i find your post very powerful

and thought provoking. Questions that were well presented by pictures made it too sticky.

I think this can be used for presenting at the end of ones session at colleges too.

Thumbs up!
