I see the image of a man on his death bed, and the questions he might be asking himself as he lays dying. As I imagine this scene, I imagine that at first, the most important question in his head would be, "Have I achieved enough?" We could think of this man who was about ready to make the biggest deal of his dreams come through. Suddenly, now he is dying in his death bed without having reached his goal. To him he would feel like a failure laying there because he did not reach that final goal he had set. He may be laying there thinking about his whole life in general. But then the thought, "What difference does it make? I can't take it with me!", goes through his mind. He starts thinking about the fact that he is about to meet God.

Then, with a blinding flash of thought, he realizes that the ultimate question he should have been asking himself his whole life is this: "Did I do enough to help establish God's Kingdom on Earth?"

In other words, did he leave the Earth a better place because he lived?

I like the other questions.. for me.. "What can I do right now, in this moment, to be better? What can I do right now to get closer to where I want to be? What can I do right now, that will ultimately benefit myself and everyone else in the best possible way?"

"What are my chronic thoughts and feelings on a day to day, hour to hour, and minute to minute basis?"

What is the truth that pervades throughout space and time?... No matter where, when, or who I am, what is that truth that still remains? What is that indestructible, permanent abode of truth that transcends everything...

Agrees with Brian..."Do I love Myself?". If you start by loving yourself and the rest follows wouldn't we live in a world filled with Love? And that ain't bad place to be!

The most important question a person should ask themselves is:

Who am I and what is my purpose in life?

That question will lead a person to doing the two most important things a person can do in life:

1. Self Discovery
2. Career Development.

How do I feel right now? What thoughts can I focus on to feel better? Lately I find that the only thing I am caring about more and more is to feel better. Nothing else then really matters.

What must I learn to become OK within myself?.........To reach and stay within a place where, no matter what happens, I'm still OK within it all.

Why... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ? Keep questioning, until you see BECAUSE... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

Every question is equally important. Each at a different time and place (figuratively speaking, there is only now). Question asked today is not relevant tomorrow, because upon asking the question you change, upon receiving an answer you change, etc. You are ever evolving, so makes no sense for one question to remain the most important throughout the whole evolution.

What are my priorties? What is important to me? What are my capabilities? What am I good at? Who am I? Who is God?

I explain here the importance of asking the right questions. Based on this new understanding, I will list some important questions, but what is most important, depends on who is asking and where they are in their life.

Why am I so happy?

Why am I so loved?

I think the question that everybody should ask one's own self is that "why am I here?" Is it because I want to experience this or it is something else? and once we know what the purpose is, there are other questions that follow like am I serving the purpose or If I am giving my best or I want to change the purpose... But the first question is Why Am I Here?

To me, it is very clear because I "died" in a car crash, left my body and was given a chance to look at my life and decide if I was all I wanted to be. I got another chance so I constantly ask myself what I will see next time that I will regret and say "I wish I would have____." And I ask myself and the Universe to show me what I need to see, do, know or understand that I'm not aware of. Sometimes I don't like what I'm shown but I am grateful to have a chance to change it while I am still here where it is possible.

I think there are infinite important questions:

What am I on this earth to accomplish/contribute" How can I be of service through my desires? (Desires are the seeds of our greatest contribution) What is is that I wish to create? What can I give? What do IIIIIIIIIII want? (not what society conditions us to want)

"Why not?"

Too often we get caught up in questioning and over-thinking. When opportunity comes along, the question we ask should simply be, "Why not?".
