What decisions have you made about who or what you must be? A doctor, lawyer, government official, part of the family business, father/mother, good daughter/son, what else? And to be anything else is to be less? Were they your ideas? Or someone else's? Whatever the reasons, decisions will only limit you. You've decided, so you can't change it, even if it's no longer working for you. Questions on the other hand will help you see possibilities you might not have been willing or able to see before. Questions will empower you to choose consciously what you'd really like. So if you'd like to create the life you'd really enjoy, ask “What have I decided I must be?” followed by “If I could choose anything, who and what would I be?” You may choose exactly the same as you are now. Or you may not. In either case, the choice will be consciously yours, so how will you feel about it? The same or different?

Have you been trying for some time to create the relationships, work, business or life you'd like, but can't ever seem to make it happen? If you've been stuck on something for a while and not achieved the result you'd like, you may have some deeply held, unconscious decisions that are limiting you. For example, is there anything you believe can't be changed? Where you have to live, study or work, or what you have to do or be for someone else? What if you could change anything? What would be possible for you then and what would you choose? If you'd like to move beyond the places that have been keeping you stuck, ask “What have I decided I can't change?” and notice what comes to mind. If you start seeing where and how you've been keeping yourself stuck with unspoken decisions, then ask “What else is possible?” and “Can I change this? If so, how?”
One of the greatest limitations in work, business and life in general is when you decide something is right, best or perfect. The right subject to study, the right school, the right career, the right job, right person for the job, the right product, the right marketing strategy, the right branding, The One. Why? It stops you looking for anything greater. So even if you think your work, business or life is ticking along very nicely now, and you don't feel stuck or limited by anything, ask “If I didn't do it this way, what other ways could I do it?” This is an invitation for greater awareness. Especially if you're in business. Questioning the things you think are perfect can make you an industry leader and innovator. And if you do end up choosing to do things the same way as before, it will be because that is still the most inspiring option. Not because you were stuck in a rut.
