Questions For Meaning

Questions for Meaning:

Questions to ask yourself to get meaning out of your day.

 

The beginning and ending questions are from Benjamin Franklin, which he would ask himself every morning and evening.

 

“What good shall I do this day?” If you can answer this question, you have set a major goal for the day.

When situations arise, ask, “what is this trying to teach me?” If you are able to answer this, you are able to pull positive life lessons to make your life better, and possibly share the experience to teach others.

Another version of that would be, “what did I learn from this?”

 

And the last to reflect on the day, “what good have I done today?”. This shows the kind of impact you had on the world, what to keep doing, and what to improve on.

 

Answering questions you intentionally ask yourself through the day moves you from the potentially good day, to the intentionally powerful day.
