Hello Reader,

Loving the Questions

Most of us arrive at a threshold with practical questions.

Should I stay?
Should I leave?
Should I move?
Should I write the book?
Should I change my work?
Should I begin again?

These questions matter. But they are not the real questions, the ones that cut to the core.

The deeper question may be:

“What am I afraid will happen if I choose myself?”
“What part of me have I abandoned in order to succeed?”
“What would become possible if I stopped organizing my life around being approved of?”
“What is asking to be lived now?”

A threshold does not always require an immediate answer. Sometimes it requires a more courageous question.

In May I gave a TEDx talk called The Radical Question: Stop Looking for Answers. In my talk I shared why it's so important that we go beyond the surface questions, to the more difficult ones, to find solutions to problems that are complex, ambiguous and totally new, whether it's for us personally or for our collective problems.

Today's Threshold Question

What question are you using to avoid the question that would actually change you?

If you want a way to begin, consider my email course, Mastering Conscious Living: 10 Lessons to Creating Purpose, Passion and Peace in Your Life. Told through my experience of walking in an Ecuadorian Rainforest, these ten lessons will take you through a series of prompts to help you discover what lies beneath the surface.

Courageously living,

P.S. If you keep looking for answers but have not found any, ask the deeper, courageous and radical question.
