One question will create the most profound insights into who you are and the life you are creating. It is something everyone should ask themselves if they want to live the best life possible.

Let’s examine this powerful question and what will help you answer it.

Perspective

Before getting to the one question everyone should ask themselves, let’s look at a fundamental in life that will prepare you to answer it.

How do you see your life? How do you see the work you do? Considering you spend about a third of your life working, a third sleeping, and a third doing what you will, these are serious questions to consider.

Since work is an important part of most of our lives, let’s look at some perspectives people can hold about it. As you read them, note those that resonate with you.

Do you see your job and the work you do as:

  • A way to earn a paycheck
  • Something needed to get by
  • The way to get benefits (health insurance, 401k, etc.)
  • A chore
  • A laborious task
