Here are some important questions we should ask ourselves:
- What one decision would I make if I knew that it would not fail?
- What one thing should I eliminate from my life because it holds me back from reaching my full potential?
- Am I on the path of something absolutely marvelous, or something absolutely mediocre?
- If everyone in the United States of America were on my level of spirituality, would there be a revival in the land?
- Does the devil know who I am?
- Am I running from something, or to something?
- What can I do to make better use of my time?
- Would I recognize Jesus if I met Him on the street?
- Who do I need to forgive?
- What is my favorite scripture for myself, my family, my career?
- What impossible thing am I believing and planning for?
- What is my most prevailing thought?
- What good thing have I previously committed myself to do that I have quit doing?
- Of the people I respect most, what is it about them that earns my respect?
- What would a truly creative person do in my situation?
- What outside influences are causing me to be better or worse?
- Can I lead anyone else to Christ?
- In what areas do I need improvement in terms of personal development?
- What gifts, talents, or strengths do I have?
- What is one thing that I can do for someone else who has no opportunity to repay me?
