Daddy, Why Is The Sky Blue?
Have you ever thought about the power of a
question?
What kind of question is that, Dean, you say?
Ask any 5 year old. Questions are how you learn
everything. Questions are how progress is made.
Questions you ask your parents. Questions you ask
your teachers. Questions you ask your priest.
Questions you ask your friends, and more than
anything else:
Questions you ask yourself.
Questions are truly how we think. They are also
how we activate our intuition, and reach new levels
of performance.
So what are you asking yourself?
Even more importantly.
Is what you are asking yourself building you up?
Is it enpowering you and leading you to excel?
Or is it blaming somebody else?
Is it stunting your growth?
And the same question may do either depending on
your attitude. Check this out. Let's say you're on
your basketball team. You're not playing nearly as
much as you think you should, so you're asking:
"Why doesn't coach give me more playing time?"
Make's perfect sense, right?
If you believe in your heart your coach is being
unfair (even if that were true), and you're just
complaining, you've just given up. In your mind
it's not your fault, and there's nothing you can
do about it. You're the helpless victim. You're
at a dead end, and that's where you'll stay. Right
on the end of the bench.
If however, you believe you are on the team to
grow and learn, your question means, "How can I
raise my game to the level where coach can't
afford not to play me."
Now that's a question with a world of power behind
it. That kind of question takes you new heights.
That's the kind of question Michael Jordan asked
himself when he didn't even make his freshman
high school team. You think that one was worth
asking?
Truth is you can be the VICTIM or you can be the
VICTOR in any situation. It's all according to what
you're asking yourself and why?

P.S. Whatever you've been asking yourself, don't
worry about it. If it's not helping you, forgive
yourself and let it go.
If you want to know how to ask the right questions
though, here's a question for you. What is this "Zero
Resistance Living" thing, and what can it do for me?
