We have all heard that human brain is a powerhouse and most of us have witness people performing extraordinary acts simply by making best use of their brains. We may not want to perform extraordinary feasts with the help of our brain but we definitely want to meet the daily challenges of our life more gracefully. Though there are various ways and methods that an individual adopts to face his/her unique situation in this article we shall throw some light on the role that questions play in our life and we shall also share with our readers some questions that they can ask themselves or others to enhance the quality of their life and the life of people around them.
Questions are like software commands, like our computer responds to the commands made to it likewise our brain is our servant and responds to the commands that we give to it. However many people are unaware of the fact that they are constantly commanding their brains and on most occasions they give a dis-empowering command and get a dis-empowering response. For example - when we are in a difficult situation, we mostly ask ourselves - 'WHY ME?' and the brain responds to it and brings out the answers. Most probable answers to this question are - 'because I screwed up things', 'because I am not good enough', 'because I am paying for my Karmas', etc. Or sometimes we ask, 'Why is he/she always bad to me?' or 'Why is he/she so misbehaving/irritating' and we get answers to the same and we start labelling the other person and put forth our focus on the weakness of the other person rather than focusing on our own life. We empower the other person to take charge of our life.
Imagine if instead of 'WHY ME?' we ask ourselves 'How can i become a HERO in this situation?' or instead of 'Why is he/she so irritating?' we ask 'What can i learn from this situation so that it never happens again?' The fact is that we will always get the answer to whatsoever we ask our brain. As said previously - 'Questions are commands to our brain which is our slave - not a master'. We are always masters of our brain and our brain always responds to our commands. But we need to understand our servant in a better way to make optimum use of it.
Here are some sample questions that you can ask to your self to enhance the quality of your life:
1. Questions to enhance self esteem
