Questions worth answering, for yourself

I came across an article today and in it were a list of questions that the auther challenged the reader to ask for themselves, under the principle of living your truth. The New Year is a great time for reflection, evaluation, etc. and if you are like me this is probably an on-going process. For growth, learning, experience, opportunity, etc. are things I experience dailiy and there is numerous chances to experience such powerful moments. So in the spirit I wanted to share this with you. Review the questions and if you are up to it, answer them. You can learn a lot especially if you are honest. Enjoy

What makes you happy at work?
What makes you happy at home?
What makes you happy with your friends and family?
What makes you happy when you're by yourself?
What do you love to do?
What would you do with your life today if you weren't afraid of failure?
What's not working in your life?
What are you currently doing that prevents you from experiencing joy?
What's working in your life?
Who's not working in your life?
Who in your life is subtracting value from and adding misery to it?
Can you fix any of these relationships, or should you let them go from your life?
What relationships are working in your life?
If we were getting together one year from today, what would have to happen for you to be able to tell me that you now have more joy in your life?
What's the single most important thing you've learned about yourself as a result of answering these questions?

I learned a great thing the other day. Happiness is based on circumstances, like things around you or things that are going on. Joy is not based on circumstances or happiness and is based on your worldview and attitude.
