There is beauty/art in asking questions.
Yes even bad questions.
I would like to share this because maybe you will learn too.
When I was just a kid, I don’t ask questions much. Maybe because I’m like a
sponge, I take everything good and bad and the very bad – personally. Maybe
that’s why I grew up shy and aloof. I’m pretty scared of people most of the time.
It is only now that
I've started asking questions. Kind of shake my belief system. I know I’m not
yet shaking it as hard as I would like to, because maybe if I’d do, the belief
house would fall. And I wouldn't know what I’d be if that would happen. But in
fairness I think that wouldn't be so scary. Confronting myself and my beliefs
would be liberating I think. (That’s a comforting thought- that I actually
think it would be liberating.)
I’ve got a lot of questions about confidence and why I react
or behave the way I do to certain situations or people. It’s fun.
The art of asking
questions is fun.
Most especially if you know how to ask the right ones.
Here’s one page of my many questions (I use my notebook
every time I come up with questions, that means I write it down) This is really
hard to show but I’m sharing it because maybe, just maybe, there are people out
there who is just like me, and reading this would liberate her/him the way it
did me from my insular mindset. lol.
What is my limiting belief?
That I am inferior to people who are successful(people who
have much confidence – they believe in their work and they know what they do)
Why do I feel inferior to people who are successful? To
people who exude much confidence they seem to fly.
I feel inferior and little because I believe I can’t
contribute a thing.
Because I want to please people, to show off, by being
humble.
Inferiority cloaked in humility, nay, timidity to the point
of acting dumb. Because I thought if people think poorly of me, when I fail
they would not blame me much, because what would you expect from timid people?
I make excuses already for my future imagined mistakes! When in fact it is
unlikely to happen! My brilliant defense mechanism!
What should I do to correct this wrong belief? This horrible
fear of the future mistakes I will make?
Be brave, be you. What if instead of owning your imagined
future mistakes, you try owning and living your potential.
Start living to your potential, your true potential. And
imagine that.
Wow.
I ask those questions, not to myself but to God. And hearing
those answers is like freedom.
Here is the most important thing I learned: It is good to
ask yourself questions but it is even better to ask God those questions, It is
good to talk to yourself but even better to talk to God. In him is Wisdom.
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on
your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct
your paths." Proverbs 3:5-6
You Can Ask Anything. Absolutely Anything!
