Reflect on your character with these tough questions. Here are five questions you should ask yourself from time to time, claims the addicted2succes.com website. The bottom line: Focusing outward will give your life greater meaning.
1. Do you help when no one is watching?
Remember how it feels to be the new colleague? You were happy when there was someone who offered a helping hand. You can make a positive impact on someone’s life. Don’t miss that chance.
2. Do you want to be famous or to be a good person?
We all care what others think – at least to a certain degree. If you’re constantly trying to look good, aren’t your words in fact very shallow?
3. Do you think giving matters most?
If everything is only about yourself, you will end up being unfulfilled at the end. Look back on your life. When you were most full of joy? It was probably when you focused on giving something to others. And during times of depression you were nitpicking everything about yourself, isn’t that true?
4. Are you obsessed with who you are?
It is easy to become obsessed with your own self-image. Don’t forget what really matters. It’s not all about you. While you’re exercising all the time at the gym, you need to keep in mind why you even started. Maybe you wanted to help others with their confidence or become a role model.
5. Do you still remember where you came from?
If we can stop trying to impress people, we can actually have real conversations about things that are really important. Embrace where you came from – it is a lot better to be real. Anyway, it is much better to be genuine than to always be trying to win over people who care about the wrong things.
