Inspired Concepts - Questions

There are times when you just know a particular idea or concept is for you. It is like God weaves it into the fabric of your life for a time.

For me, this concept was part of a conversation I had a with a friend - she met someone she thought was quite amazing and noticed that they did this, a lot.
Then I heard someone speak about it at a conference.
Then I read about it in a book.
You get the picture.

What concept am I talking about? Asking questions.

Interesting people ask interesting questions. Boring people talk about themselves.
Successful people in any sphere of life - relationships, health, business - ask strategic questions. And they never stop. They never feel they have learnt enough. The feel they can learn from everyone, and they do. It is all a matter of perspective.

I am realising that the kind of questions I ask determine the kind of person I am becoming.

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.

Albert Einstein

Inspired Quotes - Ruined for the Ordinary

It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.

C.S. Lewis

Courage

And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
Anais Nin

Be patient with everyone, but above all with thyself. Do not be disheartened by your imperfections, but always rise up with fresh courage.
St. Francis de Sales

What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?
Vincent Van Gogh

Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.
Rainer Maria Rilke
