5 Big Questions | Workbook Page 11

Now that you've completed the power of three, that really gives us a good idea of sort of our backstory, where we came from, those three people, three choices and three events that have largely influenced where we are today. It's so important to identify that, and some of you may have identified some really positive experiences that were really life affirming, and some of you may have identified experience events, choices, or people that weren't so positive.
But they both matter. Remember Pema Shudras showed her and says, we need to have room for it all. So looking at our backstory, all of that made us today. The next exercise is called five big questions, and I call this year now story. So it's bringing you to the moment. And these, these two exercises are really designed to lay the foundation for all the work you're going to do going forward.
But the five big questions go like this. The first one. Is what is working now and how is continuing to do that actually limiting my own evolution? What is working now that might be limiting you, that might be holding you back? Because here's the thing, we get comfortable, right? You've heard of the phrase staying in your comfort zone.
Well, here's the thing. I don't think it's a comfort zone at all. I think it's a zone of familiarity. It might not be comfortable, but it's familiar. So we sort of stick with that. So what is it that seems to be like working in your life, um, but might be holding you back? That's the first question. The second question is, what am I not doing that's scary, but my heart or soul is nudging you to do?
What are you being called to do? It might be scary. Um. But that's the beauty of it, right? Remember I talked about being gently frustrated. What scares you? Joseph Campbell said, the cave you fear to enter holds the treasure that you seek. So let's find a way to go into that treasure or at very least identify it, right?
So question two is helping you, um, explore what it is that might be waiting to emerge. Now question three is a real practical one. Question three, if money was not a consideration. What is my heart or soul wanting to express? Sometimes we use money or external obligations, those kinds of things. Um, as an excuse or reasoning to stay, stay in that zone of familiarity.
But what if money wasn't a consideration? What if you could just dream big and not decide if it was possible or not? Just for this exercise. All right. Now question four. This is the big one. To me, this is like the reckoning. If I started over, would what I'm doing now be what I would be doing going forward to me that that is such a confronting question.
Like if you were to start over, would what you're doing right now be what you're doing going forward? That's a big one. So take your time to answer these questions because this, again, is laying the foundation. And the fifth and final question is, when you put all of this, these four questions in context, and think of them all together, what's getting in the way?
What's getting in the way of you, um, going towards what your heart or soul is nudging you to do? So take your time, answer those five big questions. And again, this is designed to to create your now story. What are you launching off from? Okay.
