3 Powerful Questions to Ask Yourself

A large part of mindset comes down to the questions you ask yourself. To maintain an empowered perspective, there are questions you should never ask—and there are questions you should always ask. Here are three to ask yourself regularly:

  • How can I make this work?
  • What do I have to gain?
  • What impact will it have on others?

These questions drive positive action and keep you aligned with your goals.

Your Life a Garden, You Choose What Grows

Imagine a neglected garden. Because there is no gardener, the garden takes an undefined path, a product of the wind and the weather.

Now imagine a well-manicured garden. It's beautiful, brought to life by focus, dedication and discipline. It depends not on the wind or the weather but on the gardener.

Now imagine your life as a garden, which are you.

The beauty is you have a choice.


"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." — Ralph Waldo Emerson

Your Choices Define Your Path

The choices you make, the thoughts you have, and your beliefs are all within your control. Are you ready to take charge of your 'garden' and shape your life with intention and purpose?

The power to achieve peak performance and fulfillment lies in what you choose to think and believe today.

What will you choose to focus on this week?

This week, take charge of your mindset like a dedicated gardener. Start by identifying one limiting belief that's been holding you back and replace it with an empowering thought.
