1. Useful Questioning Strategy for Achieving Goals

=======================

I’d like to thank you for allowing me
to assist you with your upcoming life change.
When I left the military, things were really
uncertain and often I felt all alone in my journey.
The options in the civilian sector appeared out of
reach and I had to develop different methods to
achieve my goals. There were no clear cut
methods to follow and I had to rely on my intuition.
One strategy I used was asking myself the right
questions to get the results I desired.

What do I mean by asking myself the right questions?
When embarking on something new, we have to have
the vision of achieving our goals. Second, we have to
visualize who we must be to achieve those goals.
Your Military Transition is an internal adjustment. Many
of your old thought patterns will be tested. In come cases,
you will develop new ways of thinking in order to be successful
in the civilian sector. Your results with your new life
will be based on your thoughts and how you perceive
others. Let’s find out ways to open up new methods of
thinking for you. Flexibility is the key for warfare and
even for personal success.

Asking ourselves proper questions forces
us to take action. Look at yourself as a computer
program. Each program can only work within the parameters
of it’s design. In order to have new operations, an upgrade is
required. The military is an operating system you’ve been
running for some time. Now that you are considering leaving
the military, you will require a new set of parameters and
an upgrade to your system. Here are a few questions
you may want to ask yourself as you face decisions or
obstacles prior to, during, and long after your military transition.
Consider the below questions as a way to upgrade your
personal operating system.

1. What is so great about this problem or decision?
2. What could I change about myself to overcome this
problem?
3. What am I willing to do to make things the way I want?
4. What am willing to no longer do in order to achieve my
goal?
5. How can I enjoy the process while I do what is necessary
to make things the way I want?
6. What would make me the most happiest and what do
I need to do to get there?
7. What image do I want to have and what is necessary to
be that image?

You may notice a pattern with all of the above questions.
All of the questions start with, “What” and “How”. When
we start a question with “Why” we are victimizing ourselves.
Another key type of question to ask yourself is a “Where” type
question. Example: “Where am I willing to live to get
a good job after the military?”

Stay tuned for more tips next week on transitioning out of the
military. Have a prosperous journey in the civilian sector.
You deserve it!
