Good answers come from good questions...
"ask yourself questions that can only lead to a positive outcome"
Or you could say great answers come from great questions...let me explain. I often notice how different people respond to their life's problems.
Some begin with beating themselves up. Something in their life will go wrong and their first response is something like....
why me?
why am I so stupid,
or why do these things always keep happening to me?
You can see if you exam these questions that the answers are probably not going to be very much fun or instructive. It's this type of thinking that causes some to give up hope, when sometimes that is not necessary.
So what we need are empowering questions that can only lead to a positive answer. Here are a few examples...
* How can I turn this situation into an advantage for me?
* What can I learn from this?
* What is good about this?
* How have others handled this, in a better way?
* Who can help me?
"everyone deals with problems, most give up but some actually profit from their mistakes"

Never let go of hope. One day you will see that it all has finally come together. What you have always wished for has finally come to be. You will look back and laugh at what has passed and ask yourself... why did I let myself get so worked up?

You are spot on with this article. The better the questions you ask yourself, the better the answers you'll tell yourself, and the happier you'll be. Learn from those questions, and stop hurting yourself with what you ask. Start using the questions you have as fuel for day, instead of a way to burn yourself for all your mistakes.
Very thought provoking! Thanks for writing it!
thanks for that Phil, I've enjoyed your blog and appreciate, your thoughts and comments..
