50 Thought Provoking Questions About Life

We’ve created a list of 50 thought provoking questions about life for you to spend time reflecting on. Use them as journal prompts, or simply read through a new one every day and think about it. These questions could also be an interesting activity to enjoy with your partner or a friend. However you decide to approach these questions, we hope you find them interesting and helpful in your life journey.

26. If your life was a movie, what would be the title?

Easy… It would be “Tossing Salt”.

For “success”, as defined above.

29. What do you owe yourself?

I owe myself the chance to follow my dreams, embrace my creativity and be as happy as I can.

30. When you think of “home” what do you think of?

The place where I go to relax, let my hair down, and just be my real self instead of having to wear the mask I use in public.

Caring, open, sarcastic, emotional, frightened.

32. How do you spend most of your free time?

Free time? What is that? Either sleeping, reading or writing.

33. What did you want to be when you where younger?

A writer, a wrestler or a TV weatherman.

34. What are you doing to pursue your dreams right now?

I write daily and I created this website, DougMaynard.com, as my primary creative outlet.

35. What are you most scared of?

Being alone and at the same time, trusting someone enough to let them get close so I’m not alone. It’s a bitch, ain’t it.

36. What are you looking forward to?

Being off work next weekend and seeing what or who I can get into. I need a little “bad behavior” time.

37. What has been the greatest adventure of your life?

Moving to Wilmington was probably the biggest adventure of my life until a few years ago. Now it’s every day I spend with my BFF. He’s truly an amazing guy and things are never, ever boring.

38. What are you most proud of?

All of my “Tossing Salt – Worldwide News” columns over the past 15 years and my stories over at FanFiction.net.

39. Where would you like to live? Why haven’t you moved?

I’d love to move back to Wilmington, NC and I haven’t moved yet because my family is here in Laurinburg and I can’t just up and abandon them.

40. If you left your current life in order to pursue your dreams, what would you lose?

A great job, my family, most of my friends.

41. What is your greatest strength? What is your greatest weakness?

My greatest strength is my sense of responsibility. If I have something I need to do or am responsible for, it will be done… period! My greatest weakness is how I won’t let people get too close and push them away when all I really want is to have them in my life.

42. What did life teach you yesterday?

I don’t know. Yesterday was kind of a ho-hum day.

43. Whose life have you had the greatest impact on?

I don’t know really. If I have impacted anyone’s life in a positive manner, I’m glad for that, but I’m not out taking notes and keeping track of things like this. I try to do the best I can for anyone and everyone who is a part of my life and means something to me and if I’m able to make an impact and help, I am thankful for that.

44. What makes you special?

I can suck a basket ball through a straw. Does that qualify? Otherwise, my empathy for people, even when I don’t want to be around people… lol

45. What do you want most?

Happiness.  And a Frosty from Wendy’s…

46. How many people do you love? What are you doing for them?

I love many people in many different ways and those who are important to me, I just try to be there for them and be real, whatever it takes. That’s more important than anything.

47. If you had 24 hours to live, who would you be with 23 hours from now?

My BFF and his mini-me.

48. What bad habits do you want to break?

I’ve already quit drinking, so what bad habits do I have left? I guess the junk food snacking thing I do sometimes late at night.  That and your boyfriend.

49. When did you not speak up when you should have?

Far too many times to list here. But I’m a lot better at it now than I used to be. I can even say “NO” now too.

50. How would you describe the next 5 years of your life in a sentence?

Work hard, be real and do the best you can and one day, Prince Charming will show up and happiness will be the rule of the day. Just don’t forget that damn cat.

And that’s the end of Part 2. I’m going to go have dinner now. Have a great one and thank you for reading. I’ll be back later.

Ubuntu!
