Get What You Want

I don’t know if you have noticed, that your days look very similar. Your life is pretty much same every day. No shame though. Just a reminder.

My life wasn’t any different. Until one day I realized that as we are born we die. Life isn’t a rehearsal, it’s deeply real. And it has an expiration date.

The questions you ask yourself programs your mind and shifts your focus.

If you ask your mind why is your life the worse, boring or why does this always happen to you it will do anything to find you an answer. You will ask a negative question and you’ll get what you’ve asked for; a negative, painful answer. The one that makes you feel like you are not never was nor will ever be enough.

I thought to myself that if my self-talk literally programs my brain, questions I ask myself can be direct orders to my mind. “If I ask the right questions I can get the right answers. If I ask the questions that can heal and improve my life, I will get the healing answers.”

And the light bulb went up.

I started to ask myself simple questions every day “What do I want?” “What do I enjoy?” “what’s the purpose of MY life?” “How can I live a more joyous, happy life?” If I got knee pain I would ask “Why does my knee hurt and how can I heal it?” If I wanted to earn more money I’d ask “How can I earn more income?

Practice makes it better. The more questions I asked the more they got direct and specific. That’s the key; To ask very direct and specific questions. And it would be awesome if most of the questions would contain “How”.

I’m not perfect and I find myself sometimes forgetting the fact that life has an expiration date. This blog is a reminder to me and to you to start living your life, take a different route to home, wake up an hour early and watch the sunrise, walk barefoot, hug your kids, stay up at night late and watch the stars, breathe the fresh air, jump into the cold water, go explore your own city, plan spontaneous moments daily or weekly, let go of the things, peoples and places that have been weighing you down, less doing and more being.

We are supposed to change. We are supposed to grow and explore and it all starts by asking the right questions.

How can I truly experience my life, be more present and reconnect to the joy within me?
