Are your questions holding you back? That nagging feeling of being stuck might not be because you lack answers, but because you're asking the wrong questions altogether.
Today we dive deep into the transformative power of better questioning. I share a pivotal lesson from a mentor who taught me to stop asking successful people "how did you get here?" and start asking "who did you need to become?" - a subtle shift that opens doors to genuine wisdom rather than surface-level advice. The quality of your questions directly determines the quality of your life experience.
Small questions trap us in cycles of limitation and fear. When we ask "Why is this happening to me?" we remain victims of circumstance. But when we shift to "What is this teaching me?" we become active participants in our growth. Similarly, replacing "What if I fail?" with "What would I learn if I tried?" transforms potential paralysis into powerful momentum. These aren't mere semantic games - they're doorways to entirely different ways of being.
Life consistently presents us with the same tests until we learn their lessons. If you find yourself facing recurring challenges, perhaps it's time to question your questions. This week, I challenge you to identify one limiting question that appears regularly in your thinking and deliberately replace it with a bigger, more empowering one. Share your experience with me on Instagram as you discover that to ask bigger is truly to live bigger. Your breakthrough awaits in the questions you haven't yet dared to ask.
