Butthead Asking Dumb Questions?! Are You???

The main difference between self made wealthy and poor people is the way they think. (and also the size of their bank accounts).
What self made, successful people managed to realize is that if you ask dumb questions you end up with a poor dumb life.
Asking The Right One
If you ask good questions from your subconscious mind, your mind immediately starts working on delivering you the solution. However it doesn’t mean it comes to you right away.
I’m sure it happened to you too that when you at least expecting an answer that’s when it just shows up in a from of a great idea.
If you are faced with a problem or a challenge, it is a good exercise to ask yourself : How can I turn this around?
Don’t ask these dumb questions like: Why is this happening to me? Why is this happening to me right now? Why me?…etc
Dwell on the solution instead. Whatever has happened, happened. It is in the past, you can’t change that. Instead accept the things the way they are right now but know that that is just a situation that you are currently facing. It is just temporarily. There is a saying: “This came to pass“. Which is true to everything.
(The only thing that is constant is change.)
So, ask questions like: What can I learn from this or How can I turn this around?
Where you hear a complaint (yours or your surrounding’s) there lies an opportunity. And if you look around, you see people bitching about everything left and right. Whatever happens to them is everybody’s fault but theirs, right? So, what is it tell ya? …….Exactly. You get more to bitch about! 
(Or great things come in your way if you show gratitude toward life)
The No.1 thing (research shows) we tend to worry about is money.
Ways to make money are everywhere regardless of what the economist say.
Asking the right kind of questions redirects the mind toward a more positive state of mind. And when you have a sunny outlook on life better answers ( better things) flow to you easier.
Try it, let me know how it went!

Awesome post, Akos! You are right, my friend. Opportunity is there, all we have to do is ask the right questions. I’ll only add that we seek the right people as well to ask those question. Some people have no clue what opportunity even is. Waste not your time with them, they’ll only lead you in the same direction they’re headed. Great post mate.
Hey Deeone,
You’re right about opportunity surrounding us all the time. But it is just so damn easy fall into the “not to” syndrome…. You know, not to do the things that we should be doing, the things that we DO KNOW that would help us to head in the right direction. But it’s just sooooooooo much easier to be the victim of circumstances…….
Keep rockin’ the net, Mate!
Hi Akos,
I wasn’t sure from the title of this post exactly what the topic would be but I must admit, I definitely agree with you.
I just think there are a lot of people in this world that would much rather play the victim. Always putting the blame on other people or circumstances and never owning up to their own mistakes. In a way I feel sorry for those people because it’s obvious that they don’t know what true happiness really is. The bottom line is that it’s their responsibility to do something about it, no one elses.
Great message Akos, appreciate it.

Hello Adrienne,
I was one of those “finger pointers”. One of those victims that cry out: “Look at me, I’m hurt!” Blaming others somehow makes the complainer feel “special”. What a sad way of attention seeking….
Sweet of you to drop by!
So very true Akos. I have the fortunate pleasure of learning about business from a very financially successful businessman.
The difference between him and a poor person is the way that he thinks.
Hey Justin,
No doubt, a wealthy person always look for how he can turn things around. In every complaint he must see opportunities. It’s a mindset allright!
Thanks for response!
Hi Akos,
I couldn’t agree more to what you have written- that it is easier to blame people or things, but tough to find solutions and seek answers.
We need to take a lead and find the solutions for questions, instead of blaming the situation, people, or circumstances- which is the easiest thing to do and gets you no results either.
Thanks for the reminder
Hey there, Harleena,
Taking responsibility for all the things that surrounds us is quite challenging. In my opinion all creation starts with subconscious mind which is that part of the infinite intelligence and what goes into our subconscious depends on what kind of questions as from ourselves.
your feedback is appreciated! Thank you!
Hi Akos,
I used to be one of those who ask why, why, why me? That must have come from my mother. There was a time when I was young. I witnessed her kneeing down and complaining skyward to God asking why was she made to suffer the hardships of life. We were very poor then – in debt, not luxury and all. Now that I think of it, I was like that before. No wonder half my life has gone past without any significant results.
Thanks to the power of personal development, I have learnt more skills. Your teaching here about asking the right question is all that’s matter. It will redirect us to the right path and lead us to success. I truly believe that is possible for me and anyone who belief.
Cheers my friend.
Hello Jimmy,
Thanks for opening up here. You have really made a conscious decision that you are a creator of your own destiny. Go get ‘em, tiger!
Thanks for the response.
Great questions, Akos!
I used to ask myself questions like: ‘how is this possible?’,'Why me?’, but it always brought me in a more negative emotional state. Since I learned from Anthony Robbins to ask better questions, it improves – but it still not easy to do. It requires a lot of mental focus and presence.
Questions I ask myself are: what is great about this? What can I be grateful for this? It helps me to turn around the situation.
Thanks for sharing!
Hey Marc,
Yes, it is not easy to get in the flow of living like that but they say “practice makes perfect”.
As you said giving gratitude for whatever is good in life is a “game changer”, without a doubt.
Thanks for the contribution.
I know exactly what you mean Akos. Sometimes what “we wish to do” gets in the way of “what we actually do” and we’re left “wanting to do” more than what actually takes place. That may sound a little confusing to some, but I know that you understand what I’m saying.
I’m guilty as charged where that is concerned. I get a lot done, but it’s never in the area where there is the most need. I’m getting better though. I’ve began to notice it, and that’s the first step in any process… acknowledgement. 
Very well, Deeone,
I always try to find a strong enough “why” I want to do a certain task in a certain area of my life. It helps me to make sure that I’ll have the inspiration to follow through.
There has to be a strong why behind everything productive that I do, otherwise I fall off the horse.
Thank you for your contribution!
Hi Akos,
You are right. When we put the positive question to a problem we get a positive answer.
I just have to laugh when I hear someone say,”why does this keep happening to me” I think will you dumb person as long as you keep asking for it, it is going to happen.
When we start learn and see the opportunities these situation offer us, we are on the right road.
Thanks for the reminder.
Blessing to you,
Debbie
Hello Debbie,
You’ve said it all. There is not much I could add to that!
Thank you for visiting my site!
Hey Akos,
That is very true. The better our questions, the better the answers we receive. That’s why it’s important to be good at asking questions so we could constantly find the answers were looking for. Sometimes all it takes is to ask ourselves a good question so we could get an answer and finally turn our lives around.
Thanks for sharing this post! Keep it up!
Hello Pete,
Unfortunately is so easy to fall into the victim role and point fingers for our failures.
and negative 
as well .
Practice makes perfect – this works with positive
Thanks for the feedback!
Hey Akos,
Great post! As somebody else already mentioned I first heard about this idea through Anthony Robbins during my first interaction ever dip into personal development. I used to always ask ‘Why is that other guy lucky but not me?’ ‘Why was I born with a life not as good as others?’ It then occurred to me that all these questions are within my control and if I ask better questions that serve me in my life, I’ll get better results. Thank you for reminding me of this very useful principle.
Hello Kian,
You’re right, Tony Robbins talks about it a LOT ; I’m just going through his “Get the Edge” audio program. The guy is crazy and I’m diggin’ it!
Thanks for the contribution
I am personally acquainted with dozens of millionaires and former millionaires. A handful inherited their wealth. Most of them made their wealth by mostly illegal means. Only a handful of these acquaintances made their wealth by strictly legal, honest, good decisions, and hard work. Most of the latter have lost their wealth.
Having spent considerable time and intimate conversation with such persons, I can tell you that their successes had little to do with asking themselves questions, being positive, and doing the right thing. The most common answer, being in the right place at the right time, is a euphemism. A euphemism is a substitution of an inoffensive term for one considered offensively explicit and scandalous.
Few are driven simply by greed, a will to power, and a want to make the world around them – their empire. Most are fueled by fear, hatred, and contempt, they do unspeakable things, they lack conscience, and they don’t get caught. They prey upon the weak, the weak-minded, and the poor of spirit (the cowardly) at every opportunity. They do not create wealth by being fair, generous, or conscientious. Nor do they keep wealth by such means.
I wish I could share an example with you of how wealth is hoarded and carved out of the souls and chests of lesser men. But anyone of them reading it would be so offended that I would rise to a top spot on their shit list. And that would be especially stupid to promote myself into the cross hairs. [grin] So I leave it to your imagination to fill in the details.
P.S. This is going into the upcoming Blog Soup. That means you’ll get love, permanent links to your Twitter and blogpost (not sucky back links), and just a little bit more rank juice.
Hey Stan,
Thanks for your comment.
Those people you’ve mentioned are looking for something in “stuff” that it cannot give; which is fulfillment. Temporarily sure but permanent satisfaction is in giving.
Cheers
Hello Akos, it’s the same with sickness. if our vibration is always about having something wrong with us, and we talk about it a lot, then we get sicker!
Our minds are wonderful, if only we remember that. Thanks for your inspiring post. Regards from Julieanne
Hello Julieanne,
You’re right : Where focus goes, energy flows. Thank God it works both ways; lack or abundance.
I really appreciate your input!
Thank you!
