Five Important Questions

September 2, 2010

I’ve been reading Gretchen Rubin’s Happiness blog for a couple of years now on and off. Today she listed 5 questions you should ask yourself if you’re making a tough decision. She always seems to get to the heart of the matter:

  • What am I waiting for?
  • What would I do if I weren’t scared?
  • What steps would make things easier?
  • What would I do if I had all the time and money in the world?
  • What is the worst, and the best, that could happen?

Reminds me a little of Chris Lehmann’s question: What’s the worst consequence of our best idea?

Questions keep me learning.

I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle and end.
