Questioning your self is the only way to changing yourself. And whether you question yourself about your relationships, your career, what makes you happy, or why are you here, they are all part of changing your life. And change is healthy, change is necessary for growth because without change we will wither and die.
I came across a page on Oprah’s site called “20 Questions That Could Change Your Life” that were pretty good and would like to share them, the questions and answers, with you. I shortened them down, but you can get the whole answer to the questions by following the link below. so here is the quick version, the right to the point version. Enjoy

I love this Tony and Marcelle. A true reminder of what is important and how we cannot stay in one place but must look inside to see where we can grow and how we are stuck in old patterns.
Cheers,

Thanks Brenda. It is not bad at all, quick and to the point. Your endorsement means a lot as actions speak louder than just words.
Take care Brenda.
Great questions – I especially like #8, we can get all the feedback we need about what we should be doing, how we should be acting and what to avoid by learning to really live in tune with our body…it’s only taken me 40-years to figure that out
