Constant Elevation – 7 Questions to Keep You on Point

How your life turns out is all on you. No excuses.

People and the environment have a significant impact on your development, but for the most part you have control over where you go and the people that play a major role in your life–especially your friends and peers. You have complete control over your attitude about what happens to you.

Here are a set of questions that I ask myself at least once a month to make sure that I have the right attitude and stay in a state of constant elevation. Answering them in writing will help bring clarity and keep you focused.

1. With whom am I spending most of my time?

2. How are they influencing my behavior?

3. How are they influencing my thinking?

4. How are they influencing what I say?

5. How are they influencing my health? Are they stressing me out? Are they abusive in any way?

6. What do they have me becoming?
