Questions from a 42 year old me

From my journal on April 24, 2013 (journal was a black Moleskin/Evernote... elephants on front embossed in the leather) I was 42 at the time.

(also on this day: Ran 4.5 miles at 6:54 pace -- that didn't feel particualrly fast.  Good song comes in at end to fuel me.)  

Questions: 

  • what are you preparing for? 
  • What will make you satisfied/stop charging hard? 
  • What does life demand from you? 
  • How can you put your talent to work? And enjoy yourself? 
  • How can you be most useful? 
  • What would cause max satisfaction? 
  • What project have you started? 
  • What are your next projects? A project is output not input. 
  • What service are you providing? 
  • Are you adding beauty, truth to the world, not just to your family? 
  • Are you making life better for others? 
  • What are your strengths? What are you good at? 
  • What are you actively engaged in getting better at? 
  • What are you practicing so you can be better? 
  • What will this chapter end and the next begin? are you taking notes for that? 
  • Is your writing getting any better? how do you know? 
  • Is your guitar getting better? how do you know? 
  • Is your health improving? how do you know? 
  • What's something you're consulted about? 
  • What would you like to be consulted about? 
  • What little experiments are you running in your life? how will you evaluate them? 
  • What good things did you do today? for whom? 
  • Who do you emulate? 
  • What is "truly living"? 
  • What are you dreaming towards/about?
