Self-provocative questions

[Lord777]

Many of us need a good shake from time to time in order to wrest ourselves out of our semi-automatic routine. The list of provocative questions below is sobering and allows you to look at your life from different angles, become a little more aware, understand what is important, where opportunities are hidden, and much more. There are no only correct answers to them, and not all can be answered at once. But even the search itself will help you to know yourself and your needs, to think about what often remains out of sight.

The philosopher Voltaire called for judging a person by the questions he asks. This is good and correct advice, because it gives you a lot to learn, from getting to the bottom of things to personal priorities. Learning to ask the right questions, including yourself, is also a kind of art. Constantly ask yourself why something happened and how to fix it.
