Anthony Robbins - Power of Questions One of Anthony Robbins' tools is on the power of questions. It is very simple to apply, yet many people fail to realize the power. Well, this might have happened to you or to your friends…… Imagine yourself at the beach, with the cool breeze gently brushing your face and you can hear the soothing sounds of birds chirping and the wonderful scenery of the sea captivating your eyes. Then at the corner of your right eyes, something caught your attention. As you turn to face it, your eyes almost popped out! It is the most beautiful, most majestic 3-storey bungalow house that you have even seen. As you continue to admire it, you cannot help but to run towards the house to get a closer view. As you are getting nearer, you notice that actually there is a banner and it says… “For Sale”. You have always wanted to get a house by the beach and this particular house seems to the dream house that you have been searching all these years. Then it happens…you asked yourself... “It looks expensive, I can’t afford it.” With that, you turn around, with your head and shoulder dropping, you walked away. Or should you say this… “How can I afford this beautiful house?” Comparing the two statements, which statement will drive you to take action to achieve your desire. Using questions or quality questions, we can actually manage or turn-around a situation for the better. “The quality of our life is a direct reflection of the quality of questions we asked ourselves”. This is one tool that you can implement immediately. It is simple yet powerful and effective. Always ask a better quality question. One that will empower you, not disempower you. Another example, if you are thinking ” I don’t earn enough.” Try changing it to “ What has to happen so that I can double or triple my income.” Can you detect a shift in your emotions? Whenever you catch yourself asking disempowering questions, just add the power phrase " what has to happen….” For the rest of the week, write down disempowering questions and convert them to empowering questions. Bonus tip: You have to write out your thoughts with pen and paper and not just thinking out aloud in your mind. Reason no 1: More than 60,000 thought cross our mind daily. By writing it down, our sub-conscious mind will pay more attention to it. Reason no 2: You can have fun with the process. After re-phrasing it with empowering questions, cross out or scratch the old disempowering question or stab at it a few times. Then write the empowering question a few times. You may get instant solutions or insights as you write and you would want to take advantage of momentum to write down the new ideas immediately. Reason no 3: You can keep a journal and then write a book or an ebook about your success journey in life. Here are some quality questions that you can ask yourself anytime of the day to uplift you: As you think of the questions, recall them using all the five senses if possible. Take a deep breath as you start. Ready? Let’s begin. - What are my some of my best achievements in the past? - What are some of the best compliments or praises did I get in the past? - When was the last time that I had such a good laugh that tears roll down my cheeks from over-laughing?
