“The important thing is to never stop questioning.” Albert Einstein
In my previous article, I have mentioned some of the questions that lead to examining life and asked, “Whose life we are living?”. I will mention this kind of questions in this article.
Let’s start with a question: How does this kind of questions come to the mind? The human being who begins to reach his intellectual sense starts to ask these kinds of questions automatically. We read a book, hear a quote, watch an ad, and do not even realize that all of these triggers differ our feelings and thoughts. And finally, one day, often unexpectedly, these questions start to come to our mind like crazy from the subconscious mind. Suddenly you find yourself asking: Am I in the right place? Am I living the life that I want?
I believe that it is necessary to follow these questions and embrace them. They may be the beginning of the journey to self-recognition. Some people may prefer to ignore these thoughts, but only those who hear and consider this call may find themselves. This kind of question enables our brains to develop and mature. If we can be honest with ourselves about what kind of life we want to live in, perhaps we can open a door of changes. And in the end, these questions can help us to live a more meaningful, better quality, and a happier life.
Life could leave us in an unexpected situation. For instance, even though we may want to live in a small town, we could find ourselves in a metropolis. Or it may be the opposite. We may be ambitious and want to achieve huge success, but we might have to choose a simple job for a living. Or maybe we can make unique paintings, or our voice can be gorgeous, or we may have a talent for sports. After being aware of the questioning, we may realize that our dream job is taking photographs or traveling the whole world, or want to be called a famous cartoonist.
What if the questions do not spontaneously appear in our minds? It may mean two things, the life we are living in may be satisfying for us, or we might become numb, and have accepted the life just the way it is. Even if these questions not appear automatically, I believe that we should still ask these kinds of questions, if we want improvement in our lives.
The essence of this subject is asking ourselves mind-opening questions. To live as we wish, we must first determine how we want to live this life. Let ourselves ask challenging questions and determine who we live for and what we live for. We should have a life plan and a clear life strategy.
Ask yourself plenty of questions and have a questioned life, good luck.
