Questions

Explore with Questions

"The word “question” is derived from Latin “quarrier” (to seek) which is also the root of “quest.” A creative life is continued quest, and good questions can be very useful guides. Most useful are open-ended questions; they allow for fresh unanticipated answers to reveal themselves . -- Source Unknown

Questions hold the power to draw out answers that surprise us. If we are on an inner journey to greater self-knowledge, we must seek to understand unfamiliar parts of ourselves. The most enlightening answers are released by our subconscious minds or by our intuition. Use questions frequently to go exploring.

Try these out:
- What qualities do you find most attractive in others? How do I exhibit those same qualities?
- What traits do you dislike in others? How do I exhibit those same qualities?
- What is your greatest fear? Why do you fear that? What can I do about it?
- What message is your body trying to get through to you?
- If I didn't put restrictiosn on myself, what would I do next?
- What was a childhood dream? Have I followed through with the dream? How has it changed? Where do I go next?
- What can I learn that takes me out of my comfort zone?

"If we would have new knowledge, we must get a whole world of new questions." -- Susanne K. Langer

"You don't want a million answers as much as you want a few forever questions." -- Richard Bach

I like that - forever questions. I will have to think of some forever questions.
