I have spent a lot of time looking for answers, and for the most part it has led me nowhere. Sure there are moments of inspiration, but these come only when the conditions are perfect.
When you are only searching for the answers, you are staying inside your box and the knowledge you have now.
I realized a while ago that if I can’t figure something out, i need to ask more questions to gain better clarity. It only just dawned on me that this is a universal law.
Finding the right question is hard and you have to work for it.
When you are searching for better questions, it opens up the curious and creative side of your brain and you start searching for what you don’t already know.
Our brains are wired to answer and we automatically answer ourselves, so when you find the right question, the answer automatically shows up. Our brains are also wired to find shortcuts, so we have to consciously step outside of what’s easy in order to begin asking questions.
When you find yourself stuck and searching for an answer to a problem, you need to stop and realize you have come to the end of yourself. Start asking questions. It’s a skill, the more questions you ask, the better you’ll get.
