The 3 Questions That Determine the Quality of Your Life

You’re answering three questions every moment of your life – and if you’re not careful, they take control of you. These three questions are especially crucial in today’s world.

We’re living in unique times. Humans crave certainty, yet the world is filled with uncertainty. The economy is unpredictable. Politics can be polarizing. And the 24-hour headline news cycle has turned the volume up on people’s fear. Social media and news sites are angling to grab our attention every minute, making it easy to get caught up in the current.

JUST REMEMBER: Whatever we FOCUS on, we’re gonna FEEL. When we focus on things we can’t control, we feel frustrated, angry and depressed. When we focus on what’s missing, we’ll never feel happy and fulfilled, no matter how successful we become. When we focus on the past, we get stuck there – repeating the same mistakes and patterns over and over.

The good news is, WE GET TO DECIDE what to focus on. We can focus on things that are within our control: We can follow our passions. We can improve ourselves as human beings. We can give back to others. We can focus on what we have instead of what we don’t have, adopting an attitude of gratitude that leads to happiness and well-being. And we can let go of the past and choose to enjoy the present and make plans to achieve our future goals.

This is the most powerful decision we make, and most of us don’t make it consciously. Our brains are programmed to focus on a small number of things: they delete, distort and generalize. It makes our lives easier – and it can also make us miserable. Focus equals feeling. That’s why your first decision is always what you are going to focus on. Disrupt your negative patterns, and you’ll transform your emotions.

There are two more questions we all answer, every second of every day: We decide what our challenges mean to us, and we decide what we’re gonna do right now.

When you face a challenge, do you think of it as the end or the beginning? Is it a punishment or a gift? If you think it’s the end, you’ll act differently than if you think it’s the beginning. This all ladders up to the ultimate question: What am I going to do? The things you choose to focus on and the meaning that you give to these things affect the actions that you take.

Are you ready to shift your focus and transform your mindset? Are you ready to start making your brain and your heart work together to achieve success and fulfillment?
