32 thought provoking questions

Here is a pick-and-choose listing of an original 18 thought provoking questions I found off of a website. I would credit them, but there are some stuff on the website(not nec. in the post) that I wouldn't necessarily endorse/condone.



  1. What do you regret most so far in life?
  2. How can you apply the lesson you learned from that regret to your life TODAY?
  3. If you lost everything tomorrow, whose arms would you want to run into? Does that person know how much they mean to you?
  4. What would people say about you at your funeral?
  5. What small thing could you do to make someone’s day better?
  6. What do you believe stands between you and complete happiness?
  7. (This begins a list from a new site) If you had a friend who spoke to you in the same way that you sometimes speak to yourself, how long would you allow this person to be your friend?
  8. Are you holding onto something that you need to let go of?
  9. When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
  10. Which is worse, failing or never trying?
  11. If we learn from our mistakes, why are we always so afraid to make a mistake?
  12. In the haste of your daily life, what are you not seeing?
  13. Do you own your things or do your things own you?
  14. What personal prisons have you built out of fears?

  19. How are you pursuing your dreams right now?
  20. What’s the next big step you need to take?

  23. What did you learn recently that changed the way you live?
