Sherlock Gomes
"You can tell whether a human is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a human is wise by his questions."
– Naguib Mahfouz
The greatest discoveries in life come not from finding the right answers, but from asking the right questions.
The right question at the right time has the potential to change your life:
See the world through a different lens.
Evaluate your dilemma from a new angle.
Uncover your blind spots and incorrect assumptions.
Expose your self-limiting beliefs.
If Sherlock Homes observed my life for two weeks, what would he say my priorities are?
There are often two sets of priorities in life:
The priorities your words say you have.
The priorities your actions show you have.
Living life as the main character means we have a difficult time holding ourselves to the heat sometimes. Sometimes we need the heat to cook the stew of our lives.
So, if Mr Homes were to observe and spend two weeks with you night and day, what who you think they would say your priorities are?
Would your actions reveal alignment with your words, or a disconnect?
Are there areas and priorities where you may be cutting corners?
The ultimate goal is alignment of intention and action. You can achieve it—this question can help.
So, be the Sherlock Homes in the weeks ahead:
What do your actions say about your priorities? Do any changes or adjustments need to be made?
