2020 is bringing so much transformation for all of us. I am sure every human on this planet will agree. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, right?
We are presented with so many difficulties like never before. Why don’t we use this moment to contemplate on our self? Rather than blaming or judging the external factors.
Many great teachers gave questions instead of direct advice or answer. Questions will invoke our deepest truth and challenges us deeper.
Every human is unique, and the answer we are seeking is already inside us. It is more powerful and liberating if we find out the answer by ourselves.
Questions will provoke our unconscious mind to surface. It is the unconscious mind that runs our emotions and life.
Most people don’t realize it because they’ve never questioned anything. We are programmed by our conditioning, social structures, our family belief system, etc. We lived in a cage of fear. It is time for a change.
This is the perfect time to go inward.
Feel free to pause between questions. One question may take one day or one week to answer. Be honest and vulnerable with yourself.
