Why do we do what we do? More importantly, how can we move from a life of reaction to one of conscious, empowered choice?
In
The Right Questions, The New York Times bestselling author Debbie Ford offers ten profound questions that will help readers evaluate how they got where they are and how to make better choices for creating a fulfilling life. Do you find yourself giving more than receiving? Are you making career or lifestyle choices based on the values of someone else—such as parents, peers, or the media? Are you your own worst enemy—taking every opportunity to second-guess yourself or self-criticize mercilessly?
Ford asks tough questions, encouraging readers to examine day-to-day thoughts, behaviors, and choices that may be draining precious energy.
The ten questions Ford asks are:
1. Will this choice propel me toward an inspiring future or will it keep me stuck in the past
2. Will this choice bring me long-term fulfillment or will it bring me short-term gratification?
3. Am I standing in my own power or am I trying to please another?
4. Am I looking for what's right, or am I looking for what's wrong?
5. Will this choice add to my life force, or will it rob me of my energy?
6. Will I use this situation as a catalyst to grow and evolve or will I use it to beat myself up?
7. Does this choice empower me or dis-empower me?
8. Is this an act of self-love or self-sabotage?
9. Is this an act of faith or an act of fear?
10. Am I choosing from my Divinity or am I choosing from my humanity?
If you feel that life is giving you the wrong answers — then maybe it’s time to ask different questions!
The Right Questions shows you how to employ radical self-care, recognize your own values, and harness the power of choice. Ford’s sage advice will help you:
- Master the art of looking for what’s right
- Choose faith over fear
- Reclaim your power in any relationship or situation
