I truly believe that the quality of your life is based on the quality of the questions that you ask. When we ask ourselves a question, our mind is instantly comissioned to come up with and find an answer to the question. So what type of questions are you asking yourself? And what type of life is that creating?

Ask yourself “Why does this always happen to me?” and you’ll get an answer. But if you ask yourself “How can I have a great day today?” you’ll also get an answer. Which answer is going to empower you more? You got it.

I’ll give you an example from my life – I love to travel and in 2007 I decided that one of my goals for that year was to travel to 5 different countries, but I decided that not only did I want to travel to 5 different countries but I wanted to get paid for doing it. And so instead of asking the question “How can I afford to travel to 5 countries this year?”, I changed the question to “How can I travel to 5 countries this year and make money while doing it?”.

The result – in 2007 I spent time in Italy, France, UK, Germany. For one of the trips my flight and accomodation was paid and the second trip I had a boat trip paid for and I did workshops in the UK and Germany which paid for spending money. And while I only did 4 out of 5 countries – let me tell you, I wasn’t complaining! I know that this reality and these trips were created out of asking a Smart question, rather than the usual question.

Take a look at this article for some tips on how to use the power of Smart Questions in your life.
