Questions > Answers
The quality of our questions, not the answers, determines the wisdom we gain.
Hi,
In a world obsessed with seeking answers, to be always right, to always have perfect knowledge, have we lost the power of questions?
The constant search for answers can limit us. It closes us off to broader possibilities, and traps us into familiar but often ineffective patterns.
Questions, on the other hand, expand our horizons. They challenge our assumptions, spark our curiosity, and lead us to new discoveries. Asking a variety of questions is a form of mindfulness and leads to deeper insights and wisdom. Questions drive us to explore, experiment, and create new things.
When we deliberately practice asking richer questions, we get to:
- Give a practical form to our curiosity.
- Overcome our conditioning and default assumptions.
- Explore unforeseen possibilities.
- Learn patience, instead of always jumping to the first answer.
- Harness the opportunities created by uncertainties.
What if we spent today with more questions than answers?
What if we cultivated a habit of asking stronger questions?
Curiously,
