Most questions are asked because someone wants an answer.
The best ones do something else.
They interrupt the story you’ve been telling yourself. They expose assumptions you didn’t realise you were carrying. And sometimes, they stay with you long after you’ve moved on to something else.
Consider these:
“If I could not compare myself to anyone else, how would I define a good life?”
“Whose approval am I auditioning for?”
Neither is easy to answer. Perhaps they shouldn’t be.
This week, sharing a beautifully simple piece called A Few Questions.
It’s a collection of questions that make you pause and examine how you think, what you value and how much of your life is shaped by other people’s expectations.
Don’t try to answer all of them.
Find the one that makes you slightly uncomfortable. That’s probably the one worth spending time with.
Read it here: A Few Questions
That’s it for this week.
