Question (n.) early 13., “philosophical or theological problem,” early 14c. “utterance meant to elicit an answer or discussion,” “a difficulty, a doubt,” “interrogation, torture, a seeking, inquiry, examining.” (https://www.etymonline.com)

Life always comes full circle with you and me in the center, and the questions that fill the contents of the circle. Once the right questions are asked the conversation with your truth begins, as the wheel begins to move. Perception is in the eye of the beholder. We see with our minds not our eyes. Where do you think questions and suggestions are coming from?

Questions are the creators of worlds, and the formation of the cells of what we are to become as human beings. In observation of our daily conversations, we begin to understand the underlying energy of the frequencies and vibrations behind every question. This is the nature and science involved in what we can create with our thoughts and words. Like the genie in the lamp, whatever command is given that thought has no choice but to become what is in its destiny and must be granted.

One can just look at their own set of circumstances and look back at their thoughts to see how that life was manifested. Asking the right question can elicit an answer or start a discussion about the truth if a person is willing to stand firm in its presence of the question.

Questions are the beginning of the conversation with ourselves. Adversity or that opposite of the initial desire of the imagination is where the integrity of the question is tested. It is difficult to be in the arena with what we do not want to see, feel, and experience.

There is no deviation from the question but only through it is where we get good at pivoting and guiding to asking more profound questions for more profound answers.

Pause right now and take a moment to examine what questions have been running course in your relationships, finances, career, and self-worth. The answer is not as important as the question being asked because solutions are born within the house of their parents, the questions themselves.

If we do not answer the questions that we have given life to then what presents itself is a conveyor belt that cycles the question back to us repeatedly until we recognize and acknowledge it. To go places we have never been to before we must ask questions we have never asked before.

Stay steadfast and courageous because it is a prerequisite to move into effective question-asking. As you separate from the crowd with the questions you ask, new doors and opportunities will offer themselves to you.

Be patient and thoughtful to the next questions you ask from life because you will have to live with what comes with them.

Practice asking quality questions every day and watch the magic reveal itself in your life and that of others around you.

The conversation is the place where one lives and dwells and should not be taken for granted. We only get one life so ask great questions so that you can tell an amazing story that will influence generations to come.
