When was the last time you paused to reflect on your life? You’re too busy for that, right? Wouldn’t you like to know if you should continue full-speed ahead or if you’re veering off course? Here are 35 questions to inspire self-reflection. They will help you identify your values, discover your driving forces, challenge your behavior, and determine whether you should recalibrate your direction.
Finding the right answer begins with the right question.
