I ask myself five questions every night to hold myself accountable for my growth and achieve my goals. One: "What was the best thing that happened to me today?" Reflecting on this makes me grateful. Secondly, "Did I leave my comfort zone?" I try new things every day, even if it's just a new restaurant, because doing something different helps you grow and overcome fear.
Then I ask: "Did I discover anything new about myself?" Those discoveries have the potential to change your life. "Did I complete what I was supposed to and work toward my goals?" The discipline we apply to our goals attracts wealth and unlimited opportunities. Finally, "What can I do better tomorrow?" I always find ways to do better. This isn't about being aware of your shortcomings — it's about being aware of your true potential.
