PEOPLE QUESTIONSn Responding Positively To The Influence Of Othersn © Lee Wise 2003 All rights reserved

Everyone understands the power of an excellent question. Anquestion that:nn *Causes us to take stock of our livesn *Encourages us to become better personsn *Inspires us to help someone
*Is the spark for initiating change

One question -- heard and acted on at the right time -- cannhave a profound effect on our lives.

The purpose of this article is to focus on...

PEOPLE QUESTIONS

When I use the term "people questions," I am referring tonquestions we can ask ourselves about other people.

And for what purpose?

To continue our own journey of self-development *and* bena blessing to other people in the process.

It's that simple.

GUIDELINES FOR BEGINNING

I will allow the questions to speak for themselves, but I donhave three suggestions for you as we begin:nn *Read the entire list firstnn *Pay attention to those that "speak to you" in any waynn *Jot down thoughts and ideas as they come to mind n without taking time to analyze them (do that later)

Let's go...

IMPORTANT AND INFLUENCIAL

Who are the most important people in my life?

Who means the most to me? nn *Why?
*Do they know it?
*If you had to name the top three, who would they be? n
Who are the most influential people in my life?nn *Why?
*Is this good, not so good, or bad?

HELPFUL

Who has proven to help me the most on a personal level?

And what about on the professional, physical, emotional ornspiritual levels?

What have I learned from them?

Could I ... or should I ... help them in any way?

What could I say or do that would encourage, motivate orninspire them?

DANGER AHEAD

Are there any people I should avoid or limit my exposure nto?

Should I completely sever relationships with anyone?

ADVICE

Who gives me excellent advice?

Who could give me excellent advice if I asked them to?

Am I avoiding anyone whose advice I may not agree with butnknow I need?

CHALLENGE

Who challenges me to the core of my being to be a bette
person?

What does that mean for me at this stage of my life?

Should I read their literature, contact them, plan a meetingnwith them, express my gratitude for them or get in contactnwith them in some way?

FAITHFUL

Who are the faithful people in my life?

OVERCOMERS

Do I know any overcomers that I should seek out for anynnumber of reasons?

FROM THE HEART

Who is "on my heart?"

Should I take any actions because they are?

GUIDELINES FOR RESPONDING

Who are the "top three" people that come to mind -- for anynreason -- as I have read over this list?nn *What do these top three mean to me?
*What should they mean to me?
*If I were to pick the most important one of the n three, who would it be?

What about the initial thoughts or ideas I wrote down?
What about those things that "spoke to me?"nn *Should I take any actions?
*Should I make any plans?
*Should I schedule anything?
