Say it Ain't So...

There are millions of blogs on the internet, with so much valuable information that sharing could go on for days, weeks, months and years.  Sometimes all of this great information is a waste of time and energy.  As I am sure you have experienced, too much information can be overwhelming.  If you are looking to challenge yourself, to reach higher goals, lead a more fulfilling life, then Affirm Your Life gives you 380 Empowering Questions to Ask Yourself.  These questions promote self-awareness, as the key to making changes in your life is first to be aware of who you are, your habits, likes and dislikes.  I love these questions!  They can be used to help others as well.  There are a lot of them, but they really make you think!  Click on the website here  Empowering Questions to Ask Yourself .  What do you think?
