Win Big at Life: Ask The Right Questions And Supercharge Your Success
Contributed by Yana Fry August 16, 2015
I’ve finally taken the time to re-integrate the lessons from the mountain and get back into the groove of Singapore life.
But already, I’ve noticed that things are not the same for me. It’s not that things are different but that inside I am different. I no longer see things with the same lens, I no longer respond with the same energy.
What has changed?
When I decided to climb the mountain, I decided to do it because I felt it would challenge me. What I walked away with was a BIGGER, GREATER CONTEXT. The simple truth was – if I managed to climb a mountain this high and get to the top, then I am clearly capable of doing and achieving much MORE than I ever imagined.
I expanded my mind and grew my horizons. The funny thing is, as I did this inside me … all my other trivial problems seemed to disappear. When I expanded as a person, my problems shrank in size. When I play at a BIGGER game, I am no longer troubled by smaller issues.
Right now, you might have a lot going for you … but I’m willing to bet that you’re bothered everyday by nagging problems and issues everyday. And you spend a considerable amount of time everyday trying to catch up, resolve or defuse some of these issues. But they never seem to go away.
Am I right?
The answer I've accidentally learnt after my Kilimanjaro experience is to ask a different question. Instead of how can I solve these problems (which clearly hasn't worked)...ask "How can I expand my life such that these problems automatically disappear?"
Here are a few examples:
- In the area of money, instead of asking "how can I pay the bills"... ask "how can I start a business that makes money and helps people?" Having that business takes care of the money problems automatically.
- In the area of health, instead of asking "how can I resolve my nagging joint pain?"...ask "How can I be in the peak, best shape of my life?" Doing that resolves the joint pain at once.
The questions we ask ourselves indicate the game and the context we're playing. My point is simple: when you ask different questions, when you play at a BIGGER context, your old problems vanish.
Will you scare yourself silly though? Yes, in the beginning. But you'll soon experience a sense of excitement and adventure unlike any before. So use what I've mentioned here, and change the questions you ask yourself.
Expand your context and step into your BIGGER, BETTER life!
