One of my favorite people—and one of the most impassioned men I've ever met—is Leo Buscaglia,<br />

author of Love and many other outstanding books in the area of human relations. One of the things<br />

that is great about Leo is his continued persistence in asking himself a question that his father instilled<br />

in him from the time he was a little boy. Each day at the dinner table, his father would ask, "Leo, what<br />

have you learned today?" Leo had to have an answer, and a quality one. If he hadn't learned<br />

something really interesting in school that day, he would run and get the encyclopedia to study<br />

something that he could share. He says that to this day he won't go to bed until he's learned<br />

something new that's of value. As a result he's constantly stimulating his mind, and a great deal of his<br />

passion and love for learning has come from this question, asked repeatedly, begun decades ago.<br />

What are some questions that would be useful for you to ask of yourself on a regular basis? I know<br />

two of my favorite are the most simple. They help me to turn around any challenges that may come up<br />

in my life. They are simply, "What's great about this?" and "How can I use this?" By asking what's<br />

great about any situation, I usually find some powerful, positive meaning, and by asking how I can use<br />

it, I can take any challenge and turn it into a benefit. So what are two questions that you can use to<br />

change your emotional states or give you the resources you truly desire? Add two to the standard<br />

morning questions I've already given you, and customize them so that they meet your personal and<br />

emotional needs.<br />

Some of the most important questions we'll ask in our lives are "What is my life really about?," "What<br />

am I really committed to?," "Why am I here?," and "Who am I?" These are incredibly powerful<br />

questions, but if you wait to get the perfect answer, you're going to be in deep trouble.<br />

Often, the first emotional, gut-level response you get to any question is the one you should trust and<br />

act upon. This is the final point I want to make with you. There's a point at which you must stop asking<br />

questions in order to make progress. If you keep asking questions, you're going to be uncertain, and<br />

only certain actions will produce certain results. At some point, you've got to stop evaluating and start<br />

doing.<br />

How? You finally decide what's most important to you, at least m the moment, and you use your<br />

personal power to follow through and begin to change the quality of your life. So let me ask you a<br />

question. If there was one action that you could take immediately to instantly change the quality of<br />

your emotions and feelings each and every day of your life, would you want to know about it? Then go<br />
