I have read a lot of blog posts lately with suggestions on how to get to know your mate, or how to be a good listener so you learn more about others.  I like this idea because I really do want to know other people better.  They fascinate me.

But, I’ve been wondering, do we need to focus on getting to know others if we don’t really know ourselves?  I like to have journaling prompts in card form that I can carry with me.  If I don’t have anything I feel like writing in my journal I can pull out one of the cards and use it to get me started either writing or creating a visual journal entry.

If you are interested in creating your own deck of journal prompt cards, check out my e-Course here.

Here are some questions to use on your cards, or just as prompts in your journaling, that will help you get to know yourself a little more deeply.

1.  What is your greatest failure?

2.  What is your dream job?

3.  What is keeping you from working at your dream job?

4.  What have you always wanted to do but haven’t done?

5.  Who is your hero?

6.  What was the best day of your life?

7.  What makes you truly happy?

8.  What is your biggest weakness?

9.  What is your biggest strength?

10.  What do you wish people knew about you, but don’t?

11. What do you hope people say about you when you die?

12.  Who is the proudest of you?

13.  What is your saddest memory?

14.  Do you have a secret you’ve never told anyone?

15.  What would you like to accomplish in your life?
