"When you open your mind and hands and heart to the knowing of a thing, there is no room in you for fear"
--Patricia McKillip, The Riddle-Master of Hed |
I am going to start filtering some of my more private musings. Since blogger does not have a tool for that, you will need to visit my Live Journal and ask to be friended there. I will continue to post Daily Gratitude and other subjects here.
There is also a FAQ for my Journal at the same link.
The Right Questions

I posted this on my Spirituality Journal yesterday as it was one of my goals from a previous entry. However, I realized that it's not solely an issue of "spirituality" but applies across my life, so I am posting it here as well.
The Right Questions: Ten Essential Questions to Guide You to an Extraordinary Life by Debbie Ford:
I haven't read this book. I picked it up at the library sometime in April and skimmed through it. The questions themselves seemed so straightforward to me that I didn't feel the need to read a chapter explaining each one. I understand the power of choice and I grok that how we frame our choices determines our decision which in turn shape our lives. It's an important concept and one I'd started working before I found the book. I plan to reflect on each of the questions individually over the next week or two. For now, I want to post them as a list:
- Will this choice propel me toward an inspiring future or will it keep me stuck in the past?
- Will this choice bring me long-term fulfillment or will it bring me short-term gratification?
- Am I standing in my power or am I trying to please another?
- Am I looking for what's right or am I loking for what's wrong?
- Will this choice add to my life force or will it rob me of my energy?
- Will I use this situation as a catalyst to grow and evolve or will I use it to beat myself up?
- Does this choice empower me or does it disempower?
- Is this an act of self-love or is it an act of self-sabotage?
- Is this an act of faith or is it an act of fear?
- Am I choosing from my divinity or am I choosing from my humanity?
As I posted on my Journal, every choice matters -- whether it's what to buy at the grocery store or when to apply for a job. Asking ourselves if it's about the future, fulfillment, power, "right" action, growth, empowerment, love, faith, and divinity can lead us to make better choices. I just need to get myself to use these questions throughout my day.
