“When problems arise don’t get furious, get curious.”  ~ Author Unknown

Good Morning!

I have always been an advocate of asking questions.  My friends will tell you that whenever I meet someone, I ask them so many questions they often think I am an attorney.  I am not – but I am a knowledge-seeker.  I love to learn about people, about places, about anything.  I love to see how other people think, why things exist, and how they got there.

Today’s quote stresses the importance of “questions” in our lives.  I think one skill we could all benefit from is that of asking more questions.  When something goes wrong, instead of getting upset, we could ask: How did this happen?  Why did this happen?  Did I contribute to it in any way?  Is there something I could do differently?  What are other ways this situation could have turned out?  The questions are endless and they are much more productive than anger.

Your Turn:  Today, try to ask one hundred questions, either of yourself or of those around you.  At the end of the day, evaluate how much you have learned by having a “questioning” attitude versus an “I already know the answer” attitude.

Today’s Affirmation:  Each day I learn something new.
