3 Questions #1
Sometimes this is the most difficult question to answer: What do you want?
As you sift through challenges great and small, you attempt to organize the factors involved and the ramifications of making different choices. You consider other people and how they will be affected. Prioritizing, prognosticating, and summoning every ounce of wisdom, you try to make the best decision.
And yet, one of the most elusive answers to pinpoint may be: What do I want?
You may not know. Or, you resist because the question sounds selfish. But underneath, you want something in this scenario. Specifically and overarching.
For instance, you want your loved one to try the new treatment and you want them to feel better. Or, you want a job with less stress and you want to support your family financially and emotionally. This decision is about something. It’s scary, but also quite refreshing to pursue clarity with brutal honesty.
As you ask better questions about all sorts of circumstances, don’t forget to articulate what you want.
Worth Repeating
