Are you stuck on a project?

Why do you think you are stuck?

How long have you been working on it?

What do you need to get unstuck?

Is it time for a break?

Our interests, performance, and attention come and go.

We work and think in seasons.

Make sure to switch between things every few months.

Take a step back to take three forward.

Are you trying to run from your responsibilities?

Maybe just a single one?

How well is that working for you?

What can you do right now to improve the situation?

Just a single action.

One single one.

Start small and easy.

Just do, for there is no running from them.

Is there something you fear?

Something that you can feel is coming?

Something you know you will need to handle?

But you do not want to do?

Once the thing you fear is there, the anxiety about it drops.

Treat the situation as if it is here already.

If it is likely to happen, there is no running from it.

Is one of your projects stuck?

Do you think the other party is stalling?

How patient are you being?

When you are being stalled, be careful.

Find the reason for it.

Do not count on it working out.

Do not commit to a staller.

Find another solution.

Where does compassion stop?

And where does shame begin?

Can you feel the pain your decision causes?

Do you feel ashamed because of it?

Even if the decision is the right one?

Your decisions have consequences.

Sometimes they are not your problem.

Sometimes they are not your responsibilities.

Draw the line, where it should be drawn.

Who are you?

Could you please introduce yourself?

What do you do?

Have you prepared an answer for these?

Are you comfortable with the answer?

Introducing ourselves is a constant quest.

It helps to prepare answers.

It helps to have different ones depending on the setting.

Lead with what makes your heart sing.

Do you pressure others?

To decide what you deem right?

To do what you wish them to?

To sell what you want?

To buy what you want to sell?

What do you need to achieve things?

Have you got the necessary skills?

Do you have the necessary motivation?

Do you put enough effort into it?

Many questions to ask ourselves before we embark on a path.

Skill, effort, and motivation are such crucial components.

Make sure to have plenty of all three of them.

Is there someone you met and connected with?

Did you keep the relationship going?

Maybe distance is an issue?

Maybe time management is an issue?

If you meet someone you connect with,

do not waste this rare opportunity.

Find a way to keep it going.

Good friends don't come every day.

Do you wish for someone to change?

How is that going for you?

What's the reaction when you suggest it?

Ever thought of what you can change?

Yes, you, yourself, on your own, no one else...

You cannot control what someone else does.

Hoping others do, puts you in the back seat.

If you want to choose the direction, you need to drive.

Do you work with your family?

Why, or why not?

Does it have merit to do so?

Who do you need to support you?

Get moving and take the steps.

Staying stuck and complaining is miserable.

Miserable for you and those around you.

Are you sure about something?

Is that based on assumptions?

Or have you confirmed it?

Did you ask:

The person you think doesn't like you?

If people like your work?

The previous employer of a candidate?

We assume more in life than we want to admit.

And we assume falsely a lot more than we want to admit.

How do you rate your current situation?

How do you rate your current mindset?

How do others rate your situation?

How do others see your mindset?

We are not good at self-judgement.

This applies to our situation as it does to our mindset.

Ask people how they see both.

Some outside persepctive is a game changer.

What things do you do for the good of a group?

What things do you do purely for your own good?

How do you know which is more important?

The group or you?

Most of us do something that we despise, for the good of a group.

It is a constant weighing.

Try to find things you enjoy and that are good for a group.

There is a place for individualims within collectivism.

How seriously do you take things?

What is your reaction to your misfortunes?

Do you relate others' behavior to yourself?

How often do you do this?

How often is a colleague at fault when you feel down?
