#470 Poop In Poop Out
Discuss this Big Idea in the Forums!
What kind of questions do you ask?
Good ones?
Or not so good ones?
Ask good questions --> Get good answers.
Ask bad questions --> Get bad answers.
A bad question? “Why’d I screw that up again?”
A good question? “How can I learn from this and become even more powerful?”
The bad question presupposes you “screwed up.” When you ask yourself a question like “Why’d I screw that up again?,” your mind will search for all the reasons why you “screwed up.” Likely answers include: “Because you’re an idiot; because you always screw up, etc.”
Asking a question like, “How can I learn from this and become even more powerful?,” on the other hand, presupposes you can learn and that you’re already powerful. Your mind, when presented with this question, will find the answers you want to find.
Hmmmm…
Let’s ask good questions!
No poop in, no poop out.
As good questions, thinkArete!

I also have in mind that seemingly wealthy, but most terribly impoverished class of all, who have accumulated dross, but know not how to use it, or get rid of it, and thus have forged their own golden or silver fetters.

Testimonials
“Kudos to you for doing such a wonderful job of bringing all philosophers and thoughts together into one place. I've been battling with self-actualization for a while now (aren't we all) and now I've made a commitment to reading your site, books and resources on a daily basis to keep in tune with myself, the world and others. I know so many people who have benefited from your site and look forward to your daily inspiration. I own a holistic spa with my mom and I thought it would be a great idea to have a link to your site to help inspire our clients. Thank you.”
