The Wisdom is Found in the Questions

​

Keep Asking the Questions to Harvest the Wisdom

"Questions are the answers."

-Thomas Vato

​

"If we would have new knowledge,

we must get us a whole world of new questions."

-Susanne Langer, philosopher 

The following thirty-five "reminder" questions are all you need

to easily re-create your life, step by step, into the natural joy

felt in the daily living of your life.

​

In answering each question, give yourself a percentage score

(like 100% for all the time or 30% for only 30% of the time).

​

Some questions could be divided into two of more questions.

If helpful, answer each of these separately (like #12).

​

Recommendation: choose five questions a day. Every seven days

you'll go through all 35 questions to ask and answer for yourself.

Hint: see question #34.

1. Am I remembering that happiness is life’s purpose for me and everyone else?

3. Am I remembering that my #1 job in my life is to take care of myself?

4. Am I remembering that I am the final judge (always thinking for myself, even though I can make mistakes) as to what it means to take care of myself and what will make me happy, currently and for my future?

5. Am I worrying, feeling pressured, overwhelmed, impatient, guilty, or regretful? Am I using “Holy Cats...” to dissolve any of these feelings?​
