Ask the right question


What is the ONE Thing I can do, such that in doing so, it will make everything else easier or unnecessary?

“Ask the right question, get the right answer… the quality of any answer is directly determined by the quality of the question.” - Gary Keller


Boom, another tool for my toolbox. This is definitely related to gratitude and focusing. Yesterday I was driving in the countryside feeling really good. And guess what, I felt like drinking, to reach an even higher form of euphoria. Luckily I had already made my decision for the day. So it didn’t really require much willpower to dismiss my unconscious mind presenting me with this idea. And this morning, I am very happy about that, my alcohol free streak is still intact and I feel good.


What if I had asked myself the question, “What is the ONE Thing I can do, such that in doing so, it will make everything else easier or unnecessary”? In that moment, the answer would have been: “Enjoy your current feeling of well being, do what you planned to do, and return home NOT stopping at the liquor store.


This is a little seed that I will let grow into something powerful! So ask I will try and remember to ask the question when my uncontious mind takes me for a spinn.

I have lost faith in mainstream news. I have lost faith in world leaders. I have lost faith in fellow humans that don’t stand up and raise their hand in protest.

The genocide going on in Palestine is so horrendous, that my brain doesn’t think it’s real, it is just too wrong! Putin's aggression is an absolute waste, and shows how dangerous dictators are. The suppression of news and lies are overwhelming the world, telling us lies without any consequences. The former president Donald Trump can tell millions of people straight lies and still be considered a presidential candidate, where close to half of voters in America are willing to vote for him. I feel helpless in my own little bubble, trying to make a differen...

The trap of holding on

“You can always measure what you’ll lose, but you can’t see what you’ll gain.” - Kyle Cease I have created this idea that I am broken, and have no more useful purpose in life. My day is often a drag to be able to go to bed. This is clearly an unhealthy mental picture to have, and I can see that now. But in many of my darkest moments, I could not see that, and I could not see a way out. This was the world I was holding on to. I am glad I can use the word “was”, as I feel hope and I believe that I will get a better life. This brings tears to my eyes because I know how dark it was and how lucky I am to have made it. And that I can say "lucky" to have made it is a big thing. Thank you.
