The 3 Important Questions to Ask Yourself Daily

Life is about growth.

To know if you are growing, you should ask yourself these 3 important questions daily.

If you are not growing, then you are not living but merely existing.

For growth, especially personal growth, it is important to continuously develop and improve yourself.

At every point in time in life, one is either stuck, sliding back, stationery, or sailing forward.

Growth is a lifetime process of active learning.

To understand if you are growing, you should ask yourself these 3 questions.

The 3 important questions to ask yourself daily – – 

• What new thing or lessons did I learn? 
• How will it make me grow and change me for the better?
• What action do I need to take to use what I learnt to add value to my life and others?

3 steps to take for personal growth

Learn something new daily

1. Learn something new daily.

Life is constantly presenting us with opportunities for improving our lives.

The opportunities may come in the form of a challenge or merely day to day events. That movie you watched, how did it change you for the better, that 40 minute conversation you had, what did you learn, the conference / event you attended, what new tools or strategy did you pick up?

The daily Bible scripture/verse or devotional, can change you if you go beyond just reading it. The article you always read what nuggets did you pick up that you can immediately incorporate into your life?

It’s fair to say that, almost all our daily interactions and activities poses as a learning opportunity, an opportunity for growth. But are we aware enough to recognise it, really learn from it and grow in the process?

Grow from what you learn

We grow through reflecting and reviewing.

2. Grow from what you learn.

Reflect

It is important to reflect at the end of each day on at least one new thing learnt or lessons learnt that day.

Review 

Then make a note of the lessons learnt, write it down and think about how it’s made or will make you a better person. 

Take Action

The next important step will be to act on what you have learnt.

3. Take Action

Take action about your discovery, apply the knowledge acquired.

If it’s lessons learnt from a mistake, then avoid making the mistake again the following day or on subsequent days. 

Doing this is where value comes into play, which is what you will be adding to your live and those around you will also benefit from the positive outcome. 

Keep learning and keep growing

Learning something new and applying it to one’s life is a great way to make necessary changes in one’s life.

Remember, if you keep doing the same things, you will always get the same outcomes / results. To grow, and for things to change or improve in your life, you have to change what you do or how you do things. So search yourself for the answers to these 3 important questions at the end of each day – what have I learnt, how is it changing me and how can I act on what I have learnt?

Be better today than you were yesterday.
