Questions Slay Problems

WHAT’S THE BIG DEAL ABOUT QUESTIONS? You ask a question, you get an answer. Maybe it addresses your issue.but maybe you’re left feeling misunderstood. Confused. Frustrated. Picture a situation that annoys you— perhaps you perpetually snack before dinner because it’s never ready when you’re hungry. Easy solution— make food on the weekend for the busy week ahead, just heat and eat! Wait— is that something you’ll actually DO? Or do you hate pre-made food…in which case you’ll still be snacking. Plus you’ll be resentful…so that ‘solution’ is really a fail. You haven’t ask enough questions to find out what would be reasonable and satisfying. So often people choose a solution and make it fit the situation. If you shoehorn a solution that looks good at first glance… expect the results will be sub-par. A good question is one that is succinct. It’s not leading, it elicits a genuine answer. And it will guide you to a solution that uniquely fits the problem. It’s a little like magic. But it’s real.
