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!

Valor is a gift. Those having it never know for sure whether they have it till the test comes. And those having it in one test never know for sure if they will have it when the next test comes.
