- If I had to wear my philosophy of life as a motto on a T-shirt, what would it be? Of course, no one can be summed up in an epigrammatic sentence or two. But, just for fun, why not try?
- Is there anything unfinished in my life that I am willing to walk away from forever? If I haven't thus far learned French, gotten a dog, started my own business, maybe it's time for new dreams. Hit delete. See what happens.
- If I could take a six-month sabbatical from my current job, what would I do?Travel around the world? Perform good deeds? Put my bottom in a chair and my head in a book? If I don't know the answer, how can I begin to figure out what my dream is?
- Am I living my life for an audience? Have I internalized a watchful someone: Mom, my best friend, an ex-boyfriend? Is my audience worthy of judging me? How can I banish them forever and live for myself?
- Do I see success as a lavish banquet or a scarce commodity? When a good friend triumphs, do I feel depleted m- as if there is a limited amount of goodies to go around? Is it possible to tranform envy into this-mens-I-csan-do-it-to-signal?
And my favorite
- If I were to take my ten-year-old self to lunch, what would she think of me? Do I still have her passions, her opinions, her willfulness? Do I still know waht she knows?
