A Quest for Questions

Let’s take another look at a topic from October of 2015: curiosity! One of the most powerful questions in the world is “What if?”–some of the most amazing discoveries have started with “I wonder….” Let’s build on our own sense of curiosity, whether we’re feeding an already-burning flame, or reawakening childhood’s embers. Try to look at everything in life with new eyes, and search out something that could change the way you see the world: a really good question.

This challenge offers a chance to stretch our minds and step out of the stories we tell ourselves about the world–to rediscover what’s really around us.

Habit:
Wonder about something

Daily:
Spend five minutes reflecting on the things and people around you. Try to come up with an interesting question!

To Do:
Keep a list of all your interesting questions
Research a question online
Ask someone a thought-provoking question

Reflection:
This was a marvelous challenge topic once again. As much as I enjoy wondering about the world around me (what *are* those birds eating in my garden?) it was terrific to see the questions that other people were pondering as they posted to the Guild. From the mundane to the philosophical, and questions asked by people’s children, or students… it was fantastic to see my little community coming together in a spirit of open-minded curiosity!
