In every great story there’s a hero. And the hero’s guide. That’s the person, that the hero turns to to confirm his direction, to get support, to get help to become a true self, a true hero.

Just like the stories, we have our guides in our lives of becoming heroes. So the question is:

Who helps you be a better person? Who helps you be your hero?

It might be your parents, your best ever friend, your mentor, guide. Whomever it is, he/she plays an extraordinary role in shaping you and helping you becoming better yourself.

So do you know now who it is?

Life is a great experience, if we are paying attention to what is so great about it. So I am wondering:

What brings you the biggest joy?

We always find time to devote to our passions. If we don’t we suffer.

What are you passionate about?

Do you know what your true passions are? And do you pursue them?

Today’s question is simple. If you don’t feel like sharing your reply, don’t. But take time to truly think of it.

What is your deepest fear?

I’ve been inspired to ask this question by a short discussion with a friend of mine yesterday evening. I’ve realized, it’s not what we do not know that frightens us and makes us uneasy. It is that what we do know, just don’t take our actions on…

Maybe you will see what I mean after reading this quote by Marianne Williamson:

Welcome to Sunday! Here’s question for today:

Which book or movie character is your favorite? Why?

I’m really curious to read your heroes names. I’ll add mine in the evening

Happy Saturday to all of you! Hope your weekends are going on well!

Today I have another book-related question for you, as we are right now in monthlong of reading. Are you already joining us to build the habit?

If you were to recommend one must-read book for everyone, which one would it be and why?

Reading books is one of the best sources of personal development that I know.

Firstly, it’s truly personal, most of the time it’s only you, your book & your thoughts. Secondly, you have the chance to chose from such a great variety, that you can actually focus on anything in your life through books.

And my must-read recommendation?

For me, the book that I would like every single person to read is Vinnetou – the trilogy of Karl May written in 1893. It’s a story that I’ve read at least 5 times, first time when I was really just a child. For me it was and still is the greatest book about friendship, devotion, commitment & search for good in mankind. It influenced me a lot, as I used to personalize myself into the character of Old Shatterhand, the main character. I remember couple of tears of joy & sadness over the book… I truly recommend this great story.

What book do you consider a must-read?

Though I prefer to be asked the right question rather then given advice, sometimes an occasional advice is good.

What’s the best advice you ever got?

For me, I unfortunately do not remember from whom and when, but the best advice I have gotten so far was “Be yourself and don’t try to please everyone.” I’ve used to try to please everyone, but not anymore. Through this advice I realized, that the best I can do is do my best and leave the rest.

What about your best advice? I’m curious to learn!

The first day of new month. There’s always something special about starting, isn’t it? It gives you hope & feeling that everything can be re-done in a better way.

That is also one of the reasons why we are working on this habit development initiative – monthlong. Every new month a new habit is chosen to be practiced by people that want to learn to do it regularly.

March it is book reading month!

That’s where today’s question comes from:

What’s the last book you have read and what did you learn from it?

The February is ending. 28 questions have been asked already. So how do we finish this month?

Who inspires you?

Whether you are a painter or a white-collar worker, a house-wife or an adventure traveler, all of us are inspired into some of our actions. Inspiration is what starts our actions, but also what keeps us going when the times are tough.

For me, inspiration comes from couple of people:

Today’s question is simple and very important. Being grateful is one of the cornerstones of being happy.

So what are you grateful for?

I am curious about some top things that you are willing to share, but also I have a recommendation:

Take a blank sheet of paper and sit alone on the place you like. And write it down. Write down all the people, things, experiences, everything you are grateful for. Do this regularly (daily or weekly). Your life will definitely improve.

So, what are you grateful for?
