The power of Self Questioning

Friends,

As adults we are normally always the ones who keep giving answers. We give answers to our juniors. The questions keep coming and we keep handling them with our answers. Our popularity directly depends on the quality of our responses and answers. The most favourite Mama or Mami is so, becuase of the answers that he/she gives and the way he/she gives it.

I guess, somewhere we begin to realize that we have grown up and that we have all the answers. But this is the danger. 

When one begins to think that one has grown up, one keeping answering more than questioning.

Actually, for a person to keep growing, he needs to keep questioning. 

The same way as those kids at home are growing through their questioning, so should we.

For us to keep growing/developing, we need to adopt questioning as a technique.

Surely there would be many of us who do question, but most times these questions are to others, as we believe that the answers are with others. We expect that there would be someone who will have answers to our questions.

This is the second biggest flaw in our growing up process.

We need to question ourselves. We need to have the faith that we can answer our own questions as well. The answers are inside, even for our own questions.

Here are some standard questions that one can start asking oneself. After this, let the questions flow. Keep a notebook in which you keep documenting the questions that you fired at yourself. If the question arises, the answer will follow.

a: Who am I?

b: What do I have?

c: What do I want to do with my life?

d: What have been the questions that I have asked myself since morning?

e: What have been the questions that I forgot to ask myself?

f: What are the questions that I have to ask others?

g: What are the questions that I want other to ask me?

h: How will I know when

i: Why am I on earth?

j: How can I best utilize my resources?

These were ten questions. By asking such ten different unasked questions to oneself one will enter a new realm of thought every day. One will live a different life. One will grow. :) 

Cheers
