To get to know yourself

These questions are said to determine what kind of life you lead. They're questions you should ask yourself and answer in self-reflection. I found them at http://personalexcellence.co/blog/101-questions-to-ask-yourself/. I wont answer all of them but Some of them I found unique.

1. Who are you?
I'm Ashley. But I really don't like that name for me. It's too common and was given to me for stupid reasons. I'm a Libra. I'm stubborn, I'm indecisive, and like equality and happiness. I like the beauty of things, all things. I like to write stories, I like to sing and dance. I take little details seriously and most everything to heart. I'm forgiving, probably too forgiving. I know I'm meant to be around people. I love being adventurous and happy but am super emotional at the same time. I'm just me.

2. What achievements are you most proud of?
Being super smart when I was younger. Up until highschool I was really good at school and sports, and I'm happy at the time I was involved in that. I won the baby pageant and that made me happy. I got best all around cheerleader in middle school. I'm proud I have my permit and am a good driver.

3. What are you most grateful for in life?
My family and other people who I'm close to. The support of a lot of people.

4. What are you passionate about?
People really. I love interacting with people. I spend time with my family all the time, I hate not having as many friends as I'd like to, I'm going to beauty school to deal with people every day and then going on to school to more than likely be a psychologist. So I'm a people person definitely.

5. How can you love yourself more today?
By finding little things about myself to compliment.

6. What is your ideal self?
To be happy with my appearance, make good choices for myself, don't hold grudges, help even more people, go to church more often, level out my emotional side, and accomplish all of my goals.

7. Look at your life right now, are you living the life of your dreams?
Not yet. Some things I never dreamed for myself or would never wish for anyone. My dream life would have gone a bit differently so far. But I plan for it to get better so that one day I might live the life of my dreams.

8. What advice would you give to yourself 3 years ago?
Stop looking like that. You have no idea what your doing and thank god towards the end of the year you'll start to look and dress a little better! Also Stick with cheering, don't give up, you love it. And prepare yourself, you're about to meet a guy you'll be with for a looooong time and go through a heck of a lot with!

9. What is the biggest thing you've learned to date?
Don't skip out on opportunities you really want to accept.

10. What opportunities are you looking for?
Mainly at the moment a job.

11. If you are to do something for free for the rest of your life, what would you do?
Travel and help people who need it. Kind of like charity or missionary work mostly for people with families or are in a bad place.

12. What would you do if you couldn't fail, if there are no limitations on money or time?
Travel the world and enjoy all the things about it aaaand cheer again

13. What do you want to achieve 1 year from now? 3 years? 5 years? 10 years?
I want to be making way better grades and actually doing something with my time.
In three years I'll have been graduated for like a year I think and I'll be in some type of college.
In five years I'll still be in college, probably married, if not I'm not sure what else.
In 10 years I want to be out of college, married, and hopefully with a kid!

14. What is top priority in your life right now and what are you doing about it?
Finding a job because I need one and I've tried everywhere like 10 times. For real. And I'm continuing to go places and try more. If I haven't found a job here by April when I get my license I'll just have to go to other towns because I cant pay car insurance without money.

15. If you were to die tomorrow, what would be your biggest regret?
Not making the best of what I had and taking all my chances.

16. What is your ideal home like?
Brick, 4 bedroom. On the outskirts of a town. A giant yard and black fencing around it. If I wasn't terrified of horses, there would be some. There would be a pond and a pretty decent sized garden in the back. The inside would be all modern updated equipment but decorated in a country style, really homey but still have modern touches. I like warm colors so there would be a lot of that. Warm scents and seasonal decorative touches as well.

17. What can you do to start living your ideal life?
Doing more of the things that I love, start setting more realistic goals for the moment and working on achieving them, taking more opportunities, making money!

18. Are you settling for less than what you're worth?
Sometimes I do, in the past I did a lot. But I'm trying to start getting away from that.

19. What are bad habits you want to break?
Taking naps after school, Chipping off my nail polish purposely, (sawyer says I nag)

20. At what times are you most inspired, motivated or charged up?
When someone makes me angry or does something I disagree with I want to change it. OR just the opposite when I see something I love or am about to do something I've looked forward to.

21. How can you change someone's life for the better today?
Compliment them, Help them if they're struggling, Give them honest and helpful advice

22. Who are the 5 people you spend most of your time with?
Sawyer, Mom, Bailey, Nana, Everyone at school because 8 hours of my day are there.

23. What kind of people do you enjoy spending time with?
Funny people, not stupid funny, but actual funny. People who like to talk about different things and get in depth conversations going. People with similar interests as me.

24. What limiting beliefs are you holding onto?
What my adult people around say that I'm just little and can't do anything or shouldn't or "never will achive this or that"

25. Are you putting any of your life on hold? Why?
A little bit yes. Because at one point it was going okay and then It just stopped so now I'm waiting a while to pick back up. And I'm using this time for me. I know that probably doesn't make sense but it does in my mind, in my situation.
