Are you ready to ponder?
Yesterday we discussed the deep power of contemplating important questions. For those interested, here’s the link to yesterday’s article: “Is There Sex in Heaven?”
Today, I simply offer you 10 questions without commentary. I would invite you to contemplate any of them or all of them and consider how you would respond. I would love to hear your thoughts. Please post them in the comment field on the website, at the bottom of the article. If you choose to send me an e-mail (as I recognize many of you get these in your e-mail inbox), then I’ll copy your thoughts onto the website for the benefit of everyone.
The Questions
What is the most important thing missing in your life right now?
If someone told you, “just go for it”….what is “it”?
At a crossroads in your younger years, what road was not taken?
If you were to write a book, what would it be about?
Name at least 3 people who are your heroes. What characteristics in them are you called to express?
If granted one hour of prime time TV, what would you talk about?
Write down the names of 3 people who know you best. If they could set aside any personal agenda and think only of you, what do you think they would say wants to emerge from you? What is your passion?
If someone asked you on the elevator what the next step in your life was, what would you say?
What one need does the planet have right now? What talent or skill of yours could help meet that need?
When you contemplate your death, what urgencies come to mind?
Blessings!

Mark,
I just printed off the 10 questions to take with me to my Tuesday get-together with 2 friends. Every Tuesday we share our connection and talk about our process of awakening. I know they’ll love answering the questions as well. Thanks for your support.
