Over the years I’ve realized how right the quote to the right is.
Asking the right question can be very important and it can be very frustrating trying to figure out what that question is.
And at the same time, if you’re not asking a question, finding the answer is a bit like searching for a puzzle piece and you’re not sure what it looks like, but you’re sure you’ll recognize it when you see it.
How much faster does the search for that puzzle piece go when you know what color you’re looking for? or if it’s an edge piece or when you have some guideline that helps you know which pieces aren’t the one you’re looking for?
Finding answers is a bit like that. You can find yourself spending lots of time trying out lots of different things because you haven’t taken the time to figure out what question you’re trying to answer. Instead, you’re picking up a lot of other people’s answers and seeing if they fit for you.
And while you might be learning a lot in that process, I bet you also feel like you’re spending a lot of time spinning your wheels or running in circles – none of it really seems to fit where you are or what you’re looking for.
When you take the time to know the question, the answers come so much more quickly.
So, spend some time today determining what your questions are. You might be surprised by how much time and energy you save looking for answers when you know your questions.
