It must have been about four years ago when I stumbled onto the ‘3 Most important Questions to ask yourself’ by Vishen Lakhiani on@clogishhis website (currently offline, what’s up Nick?).
Vishen Lakhianiis a Malaysian-Indian entrepreneur, author, and speaker. He is the founder and CEO ofMindvalley, a Global School for Humanity.
His simple, but not simple, questions stuck with me ever since. Back then, they were the right questions at the right moment. Now, I still use them to (re)define myNorth Starperiodically.
Answering three questions. How hard can it be, right?
Well, there is something you need to know before we go to the questions.
Means Goals vs End Goals
In our daily lives, we get so obsessed by Means Goals, that we lose sight on our End Goals. It’s a common goal-setting mistake to confuse Means Goals and End Goals.
End goalsdefine outcomes of which you’re unwilling to compromise. The describe exactly the thing you want.Means Goalsdefine one of the many paths to reach your end goals.
Example: I want to develop myself as a product maker. So in that caseBuilding a sustainable Mindwaveas my Means Goal. It’s my way to become the best product maker I can be (End Goal).
The 3 most important questions
So, here we go. These questions will help you to define your End Goals.
Ask yourself…
What do I want to experience?
How do I want to grow?
What do I want to contribute?
It’s probably hard to answer them straight away. That’s where his video comes into place (embedded at the end of this blog??).
Vishen Lakhiani is a master in getting you into the right mindset. All you need to do is plan about 30-minutes to watch his video. Grab a piece of paper and let Vishen guide you through the session.
Once you’re done, don’t forget to document your answers. Collect them in your North Star and let Mindwave auto-mail it to you every month. A simple reminder to work on the things that really matter to you.
Let ‘The 3 most important questions’ help you to get clarity on your End Goals.

There are three questions that man has long struggled with. They are: (1) Where did I come from? (2) Why am I here? & (3) Where am I going? One answer that many espouse to in this age is that human existence was a colossal accident, a combination of blind chance and dumb luck.
Put simply, the three question rule is this: when you start a conversation with someone, ask a question, listen to the person's response, and then follow up with two more questions in the same way.
Factual questions (level one) can be answered explicitly by facts contained in the text. Inferential questions (level two) can be answered through analysis and interpretation of specific parts of the text. Universal questions (level three) are open-ended questions that are raised by ideas in the text.
In order to meet the needs of its people, every society must answer three basic economic questions: What should we produce?How should we produce it?For whom should we produce it?
Purpose. A good question is one that you have a good reason for asking, and the information expected from the answer should guide you in the effort you're trying to accomplish. ...
The Three Big Questions strategy challenges readers to annotate in the margins by marking passages that answer the questions: "What surprised me?", "What did the author think I already knew?", and "What challenged, changed, or confirmed what I already knew?".
