You Are Wondering If You Should Open This

Often, we are not introspective enough. Sometimes we neglect to take a moment to actually look at ourselves. I have a question for you. Are you happy? I'm not just meaning are you emotionally happy right this second. Are you happy with where you are in life and what you're doing?

Let's address a few things:

Yourself
Are you happy with who you are?
Are you concerned with your looks or how you are perceived by others?
Do you feel that you're headed in the direction that you want to go in life?
Do you feel like you're overwhelmed?
Do you feel like you're stuck and not going anywhere?
Do you want to make any changes, and if so, do you know what they are?
Do you have something that you need to get over?
Do you have a task that you need to get done but haven't put forth an adequate effort to do so?
Do you know what's stopping you and should it be stopping you?
Do you have ambitions that you haven't accomplished yet?
Are you financially where you want to be?
Do you ask enough questions?
Do you challenge other people to be better?
Are you responsible and reliable?
Are you a person that others respect?
Do you make other people better?
Do you regularly show your friends and family how important they are to you?
Do you constantly strive to better yourself?

Your Friends
Do you like your friends?
Do they make you better?
Do they push you to succeed?
Do they actually care about you or only care about themselves?
Are they responsible and actually follow through with what they say?
Are they happy with their lives?
Are they having any hardships and need your support?
Do you need to let some friends go who are not making you better?
Are there other changes you'd like to make?

Education
Do you constantly strive to learn more?
Have you become apathetic to learning about life outside your own?
Are you consistently furthering your education?
Are there subjects you'd like to know more about?
Have you made education a priority in your life no matter your age?
Are there changes you'd like to make?

Family
Do you spend enough time with your family?
Do you consistently show your family how much they mean to you?
Do you work on your relationships with your family especially when you have problems between you?
Do you support your family members and the ambitions that they have?
Have you made it a point to have quality time with them?
Are there any changes that you'd like to see with your relationship with your family members?

Work
Are you doing the kind of job that you'd like to?
Are you happy with your job?
Are you making as much as you should?
Do you deserve a raise?
Are you doing as much at work as you should be?
Are there improvements you can make?
Is there any other job that you'd like to be doing?
Are there other changes you should make?

Money
Are you financially stable?
Are you out of debt or doing all that you can to get out from it as fast as possible?
Are you saving for your future?
Are there activities/expenditures that you should cut down on to help you save money?
Are you living within your means?
Are there things you can do to save more?
Are you paying too much for certain things and are there cheaper alternatives?

I hope in reading these questions, you actually stop to think about where you are in life and what changes you'd like to make. If there are changes that need to be made, talk to your friends and family about them to get their input and support. You're stronger in being able to turn to your loved ones. They'll help you and give you perceptions and ideas that you might not have come up with on your own.

If something needs to change, make the change.

You only have one life to live so use it wisely.

You deserve to be happy.
