The Sassy Steel Magnolia

If you google inspirational quotes a hundred sites would pop up, offering just the quote for you. It can be a little overwhelming trying to find a good one. For my daily dose of inspiration, I subscribed to daily emails provided by the web site The Daily Love (I also follow them here on twitter).  They do the research and send a handful of quotes to my inbox each morning. I usually tweet at least one quote a day from my emails – they’re that good.

Last Thursday, my email had a list of questions from Mastin, the creator of The Daily Love. I’ve seen a few of the questions in various email forwards before, but there was something about them being lined up, one after the other. They begged to be answered. Not just pondered, but answered. I just wasn’t sure if I was ready to ready my answers.

Here are Mastin’s questions from The Daily Love email on January 28, 2010:

If today was it, would you die knowing you did your best?


If tomorrow never came, would you be proud of the last thing you said to each person you love?


If “someday” was only “now”, would you do everything you’ve always put off?


If you knew you had a choice about what kind of life you could be living, would you choose different?


If you knew failure is impossible, what would you do?


If it were true that everyone you meet is you in another body, how would you treat them?


If love was the true currency of the Universe and the more you gave away the more you received, how would you spend it?


If fear were the biggest illusion and the greatest lie of all time, how would you choose to live your life?


If the Universe always supported a life lived towards achieving dreams, how big would you dream?


Normally these types of questions encourage you to ponder your life, but how often do you really sit down and try to answer them? Honestly and truthfully? It’s not as easy as you may think. It can be a real wake up call but it can also reaffirm the direction your life is going. Either way – these questions are worth taking the time to sit down and answer. Especially since it’s you in the driver’s seat….

    One site I used to subscribe to was http://www.storypeople.com. My friend, other Kristin, and I used to send the daily story to each other if it reminded us of our bohemian spirits and sounded like something your mother would say to you. A few of them are out there, but for the most part you find a nugget that colors your soul.
