Three Questions

Three Questions


I woke up this morning with a thought—what are the 3 questions I could ask myself today that would forward my ongoing transformation? I want something that will focus, organize, direct, and structure my reflections for the day. Here's the format I came upwith:

1.Get into a relaxed state

2.Take a few deep letting go breaths

3.Quiet my mind

4.Open my heart

5.Ask the 3 questions

6.Let the first response come with no expectation, censoring, or editing

First Question

WHO AM I TODAY?

I realize that every day is a new opportunity to expand my sense of self. I get to create and recreate myself in ways that move me toward the ongoing unfolding of my potential.

What came up: “I am a deeply committed teacher of change and transformation. I love people and I love to help people—I am a person who makes a difference.”

Second Question

WHAT DO I WANT TODAY?

What came up: “I want to live my life today as though it matters—I matter. I want to release my self from doubt, worry, stress, and unrealistic expectations as I create this day full of desire and meaning.”

Third Question

WHAT DO I CHOOSE TODAY?

What came up: “I choose to live today simply, purposefully, and intentionally toward accomplishing small things that forward my progress toward creating a life of contribution by doing what I said I will do—follow my daily practice (previously designed and written) with desire and goal-directed tasks which I list—and write—each night before I go to bed.”

These are the 3 questions that are congruent with my 5 Foundational Principles of Integrity, Relatedness, Responsibility, Intentionality, and Accountability.

I'm going to have a fabulous day!! Hope you do too!

Blessings,

Gary
