To what degree have you actually controlled 9 the course your life has taken? Are you more worried about doing things 10 right, or doing the right things? You’re having lunch with three people you respect and admire. They all start criticizing a 11 close friend of yours, not knowing she is your friend. The criticism is distasteful and unjustified. What do you do? If you could offer a newborn child only one 12 piece of advice, what would it be? Would you break the law to save a loved 13 one? Have you ever seen insanity where you later 14 saw creativity? What’s something you know you do 15 differently than most people? How come the things that make you happy 16 don’t make everyone happy? What one thing have you not done that you 17 really want to do? What’s holding you back? Are you holding onto something you need 18 to let go of? If you had to move to a state or country 19 besides the one you currently live in, where would you move and why? Do you push the elevator button more than 20 once? Do you really believe it makes the elevator faster? Would you rather be a worried genius or a 21 joyful simpleton? 22 Why are you, you? Have you been the kind of friend you want 23 as a friend? Which is worse, when a good friend moves 24 away, or losing touch with a good friend who lives right near you? 25 What are you (or can be) most grateful for? Would you rather lose all of your old 26 memories, or never be able to make new ones? Is it possible to know the truth without 27 challenging it first? How? 28 Has your greatest fear ever come true? Do you remember that time 5 years ago 29 when you were extremely upset? How does it really matter now? What is your happiest childhood memory? 30 What makes it so special? At what time in your recent past have you 31 felt most passionate and alive? If you are procrastinating something, just 32 decide: if not now, then when? If you haven’t achieved it yet, what do you 33 have to lose? Have you ever been with someone, said 34 nothing, and walked away feeling like you just had the best conversation ever? Why do religions that support love cause so 35 many wars? Is it possible to know, without a doubt, 36 what is good and what is evil? If you just won a million dollars, would you 37 quit your job? Would you rather have less work to do, or 38 more work you actually enjoy doing? Do you feel like you’ve lived this day a 39 hundred times before? When was the last time you marched into 40 the dark with only the soft glow of an idea you strongly believed in? If you knew that everyone you know was 41 going to die tomorrow, who would you visit today? Would you be willing to reduce your life 42 expectancy by 10 years to become extremely attractive or famous right now? What is the difference between being alive 43 and truly living? When is it time to stop calculating risk and 44 rewards, and just go ahead and do what you know is right? If we learn from our mistakes, why are we 45 always so afraid to make a mistake? What would you do differently if you knew 46 nobody would judge you? When was the last time you noticed the 47 sound of your own breathing? How were you feeling? What do you love? Have any of your recent 48 actions openly expressed this love? In 5 years from now, will you remember 49 what you did yesterday? What about the day before that? Or the day before that? Decisions are being made right now. The question is: Are you making them for 50 yourself, or are you letting others make them for you?
