Questions:
You must listen in to uncover your passions and purpose. Here are some questions from the episode that will prompt you to awaken your authentic self:
To figure out what you want, ask yourself: What do you want? Do you even know? Why do you want to change? What are your priorities? What are you passionate about? What lights you up and feels effortless? As a small child, how did you spend your playtime? What are the things you were naturally drawn toward and got your attention?
To determine your goals, ask yourself: What’s in your ideal life? What nature are you surrounded with? What fills your time? Who are the people around you? What are you spending your time doing? What is your house like? What is your ideal day? What are you doing? How are you serving or interacting with others? What is around you? Who is around you?
