Questions to help you reconnect to your life’s purpose, clarify your goals, and passionately embrace this upcoming new year.

Rosh Hashanah is around the corner, and preparing to stand before God, pleading to be written in the Book of Life, can feel daunting. This time of year could feel like a downer, full of guilt, dread, and despair. It shouldn't. This is the time to reconnect to your life’s purpose, to flex and strengthen your free will muscles and feel more alive, focused and enthused.

You want to come into Rosh Hashanah with clarity about your purpose in life, knowing why you want to be granted another of year of life. This is the time to get back to basics, to restate your life goals and make any necessary recalibrations to ensure you get there.

It’s a new year. Nothing is holding you back. Think positively and greet Rosh Hashanah with passion and drive to live the upcoming year to its fullest.

Here is a list of questions that will help you with your introspection. Be sure to take some time out to think about these questions. Write down your answers. That will help concretize your thinking. Meditate on them; don’t rush. There's a lot here. Don't tackle them all at once. Perhaps think about one a day.

I hope that once you’re done, you’ll be closer to gaining the clarity you need to confidently declare, “Inscribe us in the Book of Life!”
