Question Everything

How did I end up here?

Why don’t I believe I can do it?

What limits am I putting on myself that I’m not even aware of?

What am I really capable of?

How can I change the world?

What’s holding me back?

What am I so afraid of?

Who says it has to be this way?

Who would join my cause?

Why hasn’t anyone tried it that way before?

What if I did it anyway?

Why can she do it, but I can’t?

What if I say no?

What if I say yes?

What’s the worst that could happen?

What am I waiting for?

Will I be happy in ten years if I don’t do this now?

What questions are you asking right now?

    What’s the most entertaining way I can mess with my coworkers without them catching on to the fact that I’ve totally checked out of my day job? :)

    (You probably meant bigger picture stuff, but it’s Monday of a short week and I’m totally fried from working two jobs. Will recommence with productivity tomorrow!)

    What am I afraid of?

    What is the difference between them (have) and me (have not)?

    Why am I so modest?

    Are my expectations of myself high enough?

    Should I have stayed in the Army?

    I chose not to, and I have 2 paid months to create my own future before the money stops. Am I sitting on my ass reading everyone else’s stuff or creating a story that will one day be an outstanding “About” page?

    Am I on the right track and just don’t know it?

    Why am I so confident that everything will work the way I want it to?

    Am I being to hard on myself?

    Is my camcorder good enough for my first video on my blog?

    Will they notice that I don’t live in a fancy house?

    Is it possible to have a burning desire for success, but still not achieve it?

    Really… is it?

    All the questions above seem to stem from a position of self-doubt. I wonder whether they really lead to action?

    My kind of questions are different:

    ‘How can I make it work?’
    ‘What are my options at this point?’
    ‘Which option am I most motivated to follow?’
    ‘What do I want to achieve?’
    ‘How can I overcome this barrier?’

    6. What If I start publishing english posts?

    7. What If I get in touch with someone I love named Corbett Barr?

    Mine is always:
    How much longer must I struggle before I see some result?
    Is this all worth it?
    Would I REALLY make a difference?
    Are my ideas REALLY original?

    I have already taken the steps to get the life I want. The struggle of getting there has always brought about doubts.

    1. What steps can I take right this moment toward the ultimate goals?

    2. What is more important? The goal or the journey?

    3. How can Roy Marvelous increase his chances of getting laid? (He asked right above mine, so now I’m curious.)
