Getting the Answers You Need
Getting answers to make the best choices in life come from asking the right questions. Do you ask yourself destructive questions like “Why can’t I make friends?” or “Why can’t I do this?” or “Why can’t I make the money that I want to make?” your mind will explain.
From my perspective, the answer to destructive questions (like those above) makes me feel worse. When I ask something like, “Where is the smile in this situation?” or “How can I empower my boss to support me?” The answers that I get are constructive, they help me to prosper. Over many years, I developed a series of constructive questions that empower me.
I invite you to use my constructive questions, photography and poetry to foster your personal sense of well being, to empower you to find the often elusive answers to issues that may be plaguing you and to put a smile on your face as you see the photography that’s coupled with humor.
I use the questions in this book to bring balance to my life. I call them constructive questions because the answers help me to find a solution that I can implement, and feel better.
I feel that the combination of constructive questions and affirmations is powerful, and a valuable way to counteract negative self talk. Affirmations act as an inoculation against negative thinking, and empower me to ask constructive questions.
Constructive questions empower me to listen to the specific solutions that my mind proposes.
The short poems in this book always put a smile on my face, and I’m delighted to share them with you. I find that answering the questions provides solutions, but the answers (or thought process that I have to go through to get the answers) often does not provide immediate joy. The short poems do just that for me. I think of them as “short stuff for the spirit,” and you’ll find them interspersed throughout the book.
