The hardest questions to answer are the ones where we have to look deep within ourselves and answer honestly, no matter how much we don’t like the answers. It is necessary, every now and then, to take time to examine our lives and truly see if we are happy with the way that it’s heading.
Sometimes we get so caught up in the little things, that we forget to spend time on the things that truly matter to us. Our dreams, the people we love, improving ourselves…. they all seem to be shoves to the back of the very large queue of priorities that build in our lives.
The key is to make sure our priorities are in order. Here are 15 questions to ask yourself that will help with this. Be honest, no one else will know your answers if you don’t want them too; but it’s important for you to know how you feel about the questions asked and the state of happiness you’re currently living in.
