 <\/p>\n

I find myself at crossroads…a lot. I’m met with choices, options, and opportunities routinely. Maybe everyone is.<\/p>\n

Here are some good questions to ask:<\/p>\n

1. Why have I been on the path that I’m on now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

For growth?<\/p>\n

For new opportunities?<\/p>\n

To “fix something”?<\/p>\n

To avoid something?<\/p>\n

To learn something?<\/p>\n

…it just sorta “happened”…<\/p>\n

What else?<\/p>\n

(list these)<\/p>\n

2. Where am I finding meaning and satisfaction right now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Is this from something different than I anticipated? Which part is the best fit that I should step into now? What have been the surprises?<\/em><\/p>\n

3. Is there anything I need to finish before I take a different path?<\/strong><\/p>\n

What might I be tempted to run from, overlook, or avoid instead of deal with? How do I properly conclude this portion of the trip? Have I collected baggage, and if so, what should stay behind? (most of it)<\/em><\/p>\n

4. What will be some of the challenges this new path will bring?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since the new path isn’t truly greener, at least not in every way, where will there growing points for me? (places where I’ll be refined) What resistance or obstacles will need to be dealt with? (All whilst knowing that full knowledge of this part is incomplete.)<\/p>\n

5. Does this new path lock me into something?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If so, what? And is that beneficial? Are there alternatives once I take this path, if so what? Wiggle room? Where will I need to make sure I fortify my commitment?<\/p>\n

Maybe applying these questions to something you’re going through will help you right now. I hope so.<\/p>\n

And I could use your help:<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

When you find yourself at a crossroads, what questions do you ask?<\/strong><\/p>\n
