Have you ever asked a question that you were scared to know the answer to? If so, you’re not alone. For a lot of us, exercising curiosity can sometimes feel like playing with fire. Answers to the biggest, most important questions we’ll ever ask have the power to completely change our lives. And although that may seem daunting, it’s important to understand that asking these questions is an exercise of strength, resilience, and learning. Even if we don’t like the answer, there’s still power in asking the question.
In today's episode, the first of a series, I explore the power that comes with asking questions. The path to finding the answer to a long-burning question can be viewed as a journey of sorts. And today’s guest, here to walk me through their own personal question journey, is my very own sister, Sandy Rose. Sandy tells the story of the big question she asked, walking me through from when she first asked it, at 9 years old, to when she finally got her answer years later. It’s a journey unique to Sandy Rose but, at the same time, it’s surely one that many listeners can either draw inspiration from, or find their own meaningful parallels in.
Tune in and listen to the thirty-ninth episode of I Can Do This, Show Me How! to find your own power in the questions you ask.
