LET GO OF WHATEVER MAKES YOU STOP

Provided below are questions that can be asked within your group. You may print a copy for your members to read from simultaneously. You might also inform each of them to choose one or two of the questions for discussion after they have all been read.

If someone were to pay you ten dollars for each kind word you spoke and collect five dollars for each unkind word, would you be rich or poor?

“What progress are you standing in the way of?” (Tim Redmond)

Are you a creature of circumstance or a creator of circumstance?

Are you ready for opportunity when it comes?

Do you make others feel bigger or smaller when they are around you?

Are you spending your life to answer questions nobody is asking?

Ten years from today, what will you wish you had done now?

If you have God’s promise for something, isn't it good enough?

Why worry when you can pray?

How old is your attitude?

Are you ready?

Do you acquire the doubts of others?

Are you willing to follow the truth no matter where it leads?

Do you share your hurts or memorize them?

How much has it cost you to worry about things that never happened?

Do you go through a problem or try to go around it and never get past it?

Do you say, “There ought to be a better way and do it,” or do you say, “That’s the way it’s always been done?”

Are you deliberately planning to be less than you are capable of being?

Are you willing to give up what you have in order to become what you can be?

"If not you, then who? If not now, then when?" (Hillell)

What do you believe in the depth of your being?

How can you get from here to wherever it is you want to be?

What is the first, small step you can take to get moving?

Are you thinking of security or opportunity?

Are you being transformed, or do you think you have arrived?

“If you don’t have a dream, how are you going to make a dream come true?”
(Oscar Hammerstein)

Do you look at a horizon and see an opportunity, or do you look into the distance and fear a problem?

Do you put off until tomorrow the things You’ve already put off until today?

Has failure gone to your head?

Does your reach exceed your grasp?

Do you see difficulties in every opportunity, or do you see opportunities in every difficulty?

Do you spend the first six days of each week sewing wild oats, then go to church on Sunday and pray for a crop failure?

Are you traveling or going somewhere?

Are you always ready to live but never living?

How many people of great potential have you known? Where on earth did they all go?

Are you content with failure?
