QUESTIONS EVERY WOMAN NEEDS TO ANSWER NOW!


Womanhood goes beyond just the gender itself. Before being a woman, you are a human being, and that means you represent something.  Do you understand yourself and what you represent?
Without a proper understanding of these things, it’s hard to live a fulfilling life. Here are some questions you need to answer in order to get yourself elevated.
WHO ARE YOU?

This question is one of the most important questions you can ask yourself. Who are you, really? You probably have a name and a family, but that’s beside the point. This question seeks to get a better insight into your person. What do you represent? What are those things that make you the person you are? The earlier you can get answers to this question, the easier you get on that self-fulfillment path.
WHAT IS YOUR GOAL IN LIFE? 
A lot of women are just existing and aren’t living; they are not making any projections for themselves. What do you intend to accomplish given a specified period of time? Where do you see yourself in a few months, years?
WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE?
Every single human was created with a purpose. In other words, you were made for a reason. Do you know that reason? Sometimes, the easiest way to find purpose is to look around you, and find a problem you can solve. It is also good to look inward and find a thing you think you’re very good at. Everyone has a purpose, if you don’t know yours, you’re not living life just yet.
WHAT VALUE ARE YOU ADDING TO LIVES AROUND YOU?
Your family and friends are always there to support you, through the good and bad times, but you cannot say the same about yourself. What value are you adding to their lives? Can they count on you for some sort of assistance at certain times of their lives? True relationships are tested in terms of what you can offer each other.
If you cannot answer any of those questions convincingly, you need to reevaluate your life right now.
