Ultimate life questions
A popular approach to helping you discover your calling is to ask ultimate life questions. A Forbes article illustrates the approach. Ask yourself these questions:
- Which five words best describe you?
- What can’t you stop yourself from doing?
- What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?
- What’s one small thing you can do today to move yourself forward?
- If you knew you only had five years left to live, what would you do differently?
The questions from the article are supposed to bracket your calling by narrowing the possibilities to a range you can manage. What you manage is the research into the details of those possibilities so you can translate a noble purpose into daily activities.
