A few days before my big interview, my heart lit up! I was preparing for the interview when I came across four riveting interview questions that changed my life forever. Today, I start every day by asking myself these four questions. They act as a guide, giving me insights about my present and future. They guide my decisions and help me make better choices.
When I see people preparing for interviews, I see them searching for answers to these questions outside, googling for witty replies to common interview questions, yet not getting the right job! But the irony is that when people genuinely search for the answers to these four questions, they will find the right job, right mate, right social circle, and the right direction. But where to search! The answers to these questions are not available outside of yourself, but rather within. So here are the four questions that changed my life forever. They can change yours too, if you ask them every day –
What you know and do not know about yourself impacts the quality of results you get in life. During goal setting workshops that I conduct, I frequently ask these questions to the participants: What’s your purpose? What is your most important value? What makes you get up in the morning every day? What do you live for? A majority of people begin to think before replying, as if they are not sure, and that is okay! The question is not how much time you took to come up with an answer, but it is about how well you know yourself and how well you can communicate it to others. Everyday be clear about who you are becoming in the process of living your life.
Where you are right now is dependent on the life you lived five years ago and how you live today will decide where you will be five years from now. To live your dream life you must start from the end. Define how you see yourself financially, socially, physically and professionally. Now is the time to start crafting your future. Everyday, ask yourself “Is my to-do list aligned to my five year goal?” Let your daily actions take you towards your ultimate life.

4. “What are your strengths and weaknesses?”
Be your best self every day!
