A handful of questions to stimulate synapses stuck in auto-pilot / cruise control. »

“Live each day like it’s the last day of your life” … isn’t that one of those motivational poster messages? Like with a photo of a bungee jumper or kitten attacking a pit bull? Or is it, “Today is the first day of the rest of your life”? I think the first one is more motivational. The second one lacks a sense of urgency. It’s more like a reprieve.
1. Are you in a rut? If so, why? Do you like it there? If you’re not in a rut, how do you avoid it?
2. Are you a social animal or an introvert? Which would you like to be?
3. Do you disdain people who are eccentric and demonstrative or do you secretly envy them?
4. Did you grow up or did you just get older?
5. What’s your favorite TV commercial of all time?
6. What do you do (if anything) that hurts your conscience?
7. When was the last time (if ever) that you experienced the joy of wild abandon?
