You are asking the wrong questions🤦‍

“He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.”

― Friedrich Nietzsche

Let’s imagine that one day, you say, a lot of people are walking down a certain path. Will you start following all these people without knowing where they are headed or where the path leads? Well, if you have the right senses, you might never do that.

But when it comes to making decisions, we follow what everyone is doing around us. We are so surrounded by information and also so self-indulging in a stream of information that we believe anything that is repeated enough times and is accepted by people around us.

For example, everyone is talking about AI taking over the world, and we also believe that yes, that is what is going to happen. History is filled with such examples where people blindly accepted what came directly from authority without ever questioning things. Only to be proved wrong in the long run and replaced by new practices.

Now the idea that I am trying to help you with is not to question everything, because that would definitely be a very foolish thing to do, but rather to ask the right questions where they are most needed. Questioning is very critical for our decision-making and has led to world transformations and discoveries. Think about how much it can change your world.

Otherwise, we would just blindly fall into patterns of unconsciousness and continue doing things that never bring us peace or happiness internally, and then we would always run for seminars, gurus, or someone to fix our broken patterns. To bring happiness to us. These things can help us temporarily, but permanent results come from models that can be implemented or anchors that deliver results for us.

The problem is that we are like the hamster, continuously running on the wheel. Imagine running continuously on a treadmill and asking someone how to stop. If there is no one, then you have to step off the treadmill and turn off the switch. It means getting out of the current situation first and then accessing and asking what needs to be done to get answers.

We, as humans, have a great tendency to give answers to our own problems, even when we think we don’t know the answers. If we can stay with our questions long enough without the feeling of discomfort, which usually settles down like waves with practice, then we start getting answers to our problems. We start getting reasons for knowing our whys.

I have personally used it, and I also struggle to focus many times as I am overindulged into more things that are required at a time. Even though I am not perfect, even a small session with myself in colatitude solves my problems in ways that no external entity can ever. It drives and creates internal motivation for my actions and creates peace of mind for me.

Asking the right questions and sometimes asking before indulging in any commitments are great time savers. When I ask myself if I want to be a part of a certain group or go out on a particular day, I am operating from an importance mode. I save a lot of time by pausing and asking why, rather than going with the flow and then resenting later that I could have done something better. Many times, you must have felt the same in certain situations.

Always question whenever you are doing something new or taking a new initiative or generally inculcate this habit into your life. It would lead to doing wonders for sure.
