How to Use Smart Questions

 “Why does this always happen to me?”
Ever ask yourself that question? And I’ll bet the answer you get every time will sound more like a whine than a real solution.

“How can I have a great day today?”
What is you asked yourself that question instead?

Which is going to empower you more, get you some real solutions, and make great things happen???

Yea, you got it!

So why not ask yourself that smart question EVERY single day?

And why don’t we take this even further? 

Why not ask yourself even MORE smart questions that will make you happier, more confident, more powerful, and more successful?
