Six Questions to Ask yourself
1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school
2. Name 3 friends who have helpfed you in a difficult time
3. Name 5 people who have taught you something worthwhile
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special
5. Think of 5 people you enjoy spending time with
6. Name 6 heroes whose stories have inspired you.

I reviewed these six questions in my life and I learned a few things about the why in my life. Here are my examples.

When I reviewed my best teachers some were in school. They gave me a vision of unlimited possibilities. My sixth grade teacher was from Japan. Mr. Shamada shared art and music with us. He set an example of integrity and honesty and inspired us to dream of other lands. My love for geography has taken me to many continents.

These are people in your life who made a difference. I had a life threatening accident in my twenties. I can still remember the doctors in the trauma room telling me about the young child in the next area. I learned the importance of not thinking about my own discomfort. My neighbor who had lost her hearing spoke words of encourgagement during my recovery. She shared the message and gift of believing you can. Your thoughts are your most valuable gifts to unlimited possiblities.

There are people who shine a light in your life. The speak words that are uplifting. Great Work. You are superstar. They smile and notice the details in your life. They give feedback and let you know how much they appreciate you.

If you want happiness and fortune in your life, you will need to create relationships with people. I grew up without siblings, however, I have met so many amazing people who share their expertise and love of life. There are the people who share unhappiness and gloom and doom. What they are really sharing is their pain. Each day I renew my faith that this day is a present from God. I can choose to see the worse or I can choose to see possibilites.
When you listen to people and truly understand, you have the ability to help inspire them to greatness. Just as plants need water, air and sunlight, we need the connections with others to grow and shine.

I was so moved by by Maya Angelou. Her words in "I know why the Caged bird Sings" has given me a reason to continue to travel and create a life worth living. Passion is doing the things that make your heart sing.

As you review the 6 questions, I hope you find out what makes your life unique and gain clarity on your destination and journey.

Wishing you the best
