“What Makes You Tick?” 10 questions you should ask yourself: a preparation for self-improvement.
Be all you can be, but it’s not always in the Army. I often see myself as somewhat contented with my life the way things are, but of course, it’s hard to think of anything else when there are real issues to be discussed.
Still, I aspire for something deeper and more meaningful.
So we’re all pelted with problems. They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, or can they? Honestly, it shouldn’t bother or hinder us from becoming all we ought to be. Aspirations as kids should continue to live within us, even though it would be short-lived or as long as we could hold on to the dream.
1. What do I want?
The question of the ages. So many things you want to do with your life and so little time to even go about during the day.
Finding something that you are good at can help to realize that small step towards improvement. Diligence is the key to knowing that it is worth it.
2. Should I change?
Today’s generation has taken another level of redefining ‘self,’ or at least that’s what the kids are saying. Having an army of teenage nieces and nephews has taught me that there are far worse things that they could have had than acne or maybe even promiscuity. So how does that fit into your lifestyle?
If history has taught us one thing, it’s the life we have gone through. Try to see if partying Seventies style wouldn’t appeal to the younger generation, but dancing is part of partying. Watch them applaud after showing them how to dance then break their bones in break-dancing.
3. What’s the bright side of all of this?
With so much is happening around us, there seems to be no room for even considering that light at the end of the tunnel. And if it’s a train at the end of the tunnel, take it for a ride and see what makes the world go round! We can still see it as something positive without undergoing so much scrutiny.
4. Am I comfortable with what I’m doing?
There’s always the easy way and the right way to decide what goes with which shoes, purse, shirt, and whatnot. It doesn’t take a genius to see yourself as someone unique, or we’ll all be equally the same in everything we do. Variety brings in fascinating questions to experiment with.
5. Have I done enough for myself?
Have you, or is there something more you want to do? Discontentment in every aspect can be dangerous in large doses, but in small amounts, you’ll be able to see and do stuff you could never imagine doing.
6. Am I happy at where I am today?
It’s an unfair question so let it be an answer! You love being a good and loving mom or dad to your kids, then take it up a notch! Your kids will love you forever. The same goes with everyday life!
7. Am I appealing to the opposite sex?
So maybe I don’t have an answer to that, but that doesn’t mean I can’t try it, though. Whether you shape up, change the way you wear your clothes or hair, or even your attitude towards people, you should never forget it will always be for your benefit.
8. How much could I have?
I suppose, in this case, there are no such things as having things too much or too little, but it’s more on how badly you need it. I’d like to have lots of money, no denying that, but the question is that how much are you willing to work for it?
9. What motivates me?
What motivates you? It’s an answer you have to find out for yourself. There are so many things that can make everyone happy, but choosing one of them may be the hardest part. It’s not like you can’t have one serving of your favorite food in a buffet, and that’s it. Just try it piece by piece.
10. What Makes You Tick?
So? What makes you tick? You can be just about anything you always wanted to be, but to realize that attaining something that may seem very difficult is already giving up before you even start that journey. Always remember that self-improvement is not just about the physical or philosophical change you have to undergo, but it’s something that you want.
