The Beauty of Questioning


Listen Later

It is always good to question. Of course, that isn’t a statement a lot of people embrace. Questioning to some seems like you are doubting, cynical, and trying to leave a person hopeless with answers that they need. Of course, that is an aspect, but it only one aspect of it. Questioning can have a beautiful meaning especially when thinking about life. If you question to dismantle that is one thing, but if you question in order to build up because you are curious, inquiring, and filled with that great source of wisdom called wonder, the questioning becomes the most captivating thing you can do. By design or choice, we are used to quick answers from screens of phones, computers, or talking heads on screens who speak a lot louder than our thoughts can’t even keep up with. But when life hits us with the most heart-rendering situations, then all of the sounds and noises coming from screens give little to no help. It is then that we must go back into ourselves and question what our life is all about. That is when the questioning becomes essential and life-giving. And that is the type of questioning that we talk about in today’s dialogue. Today we talk about this questioning from the vantage point when facing life at its personally altering points. That type of questioning may not bring every answer, but it can give us direction in the way that we should live. Regarding and answering how we should live we does two things: it makes those who love us proud, and it makes us proud of ourselves, or gives us a confidence that we have a glimpse of what we are doing with our lives. Wherever this finds you in all of your questioning about what takes place in your life, know that that questioning will bring you to great things as it always has to every person that has ever considered life and how we should live it. Come into the dialogue as we talk about how that questioning itself can take a person to the deepest questions of life and inspire to become a great example of how life should be lived.
