The Ultimate Reflection Question

Ask a reasonable question and you'll get a reasonable answer. —Euripides

More important than a vacation: Regular times of reflection are one of the few things that I would not like to miss out on, under any circumstance. Reflection helps me to evaluate and realign myself. Without reflection, I become “frayed” and lose my orientation. The time that I take to reflect on both private as well as professional things, pays for itself many times over.

In this inspirational booklet, I would like to share the best tips for reflection, because people who reflect:

experience more clarity

can better determine the direction of their lives

can act decisively

are more likely to be permeated by what moves them

can learn from their mistakes

can often perceive success more deeply

can give more to others

Reflecting is not aimless musing. Reflection is a clear focus on a question, with the goal of more deeply penetrating and understanding things. Questions are often helpful with this. It doesn’t have to be lots; a well-presented question is often enough to give our thoughts direction. In this inspirational booklet, I have compiled some of the best questions that I know.

This booklet contains reflective-questions for both shorter and longer periods of time as well as “small” and “large” themes. Of course, you can experiment and play with all of the questions and change them so that they fit you/your situation better.

I hope you enjoy reading and reflecting.
