I think of these questions, or some variant of them, regularly as a way to see if I’m moving in a good direction in life. Normally they stay at a more subconscious level but occasionally they rise to the surface of my consciousness. If I dislike the answer I give for any of them, I try to go easy on myself as I work on figuring out a plan to change the answer into one that I like better. Contemplating these questions has helped me a lot and I hope they help you as well.
