I think this is one of the most powerful questions you can ask yourself.
We all have a perspective of who we are and who we want to be. The trouble is that we tend to overlook how our actions align with this perspective (usually while wearing rose-coloured glasses).
The question is powerful because when you ask it, you’ll know the answer. You may not want to dig under the surface. Or you may proudly answer with conviction. But you’ll know.
And it’s not enough to just ask it once. Progress is made when you keep asking the question, and answering it.
