The Direction of Intention

45.

Join me in inspiring truly powerful people. Each day I will add a new thought, story or idea to support your quest and mine.

The way you ask the question determines the possibilities you see or do not see. Often, the thing you seek remains invisible to you because of the way you’ve asked the question.

Consider this: if you ask the question, “What is missing in my life?” you will begin a search for what you do not have. The underlying assumption is that “it” is out there somewhere and you must find it. Fulfillment is elsewhere sitting on a shelf or in the eyes of another person. The search reinforces the separation. The question reinforces the separation because the question assumes separation.

Ask the question another way: “What do I want to create in my life?” Instead of a treasure hunt you will begin to generate from within. Fulfillment is not something you find, it is something you live. The question reinforces wholeness because the question assumes wholeness.

The feeling of missing something is… a feeling. Feelings are neither good nor bad, right or wrong, they are free data. Yearning is one of the ingredients necessary to begin a story. To be human is to yearn.

What are the questions you ask? What do the questions reveal about your assumptions? What question do you want to ask? What story do you want to tell?
