We are constantly asking ourselves questions..Some questions are more meaningful than others..Yet we attempt to answer every question we ask..Sometimes lengthy or short…and sometimes intermittent and never ending. Sometimes we answer our questions with more questions, or frustration, or irritation or a smile of approval… let’s talk questions

I happily stumbled across bmindful a while back because I was searching for answers. I’m still searching for answers – every day! I seem to ask the same questions over and over – “what am I supposed to be doing right now” and “what am I supposed to be doing with my LIFE”, “what is my purpose”, “what is that ONE thing”, “how do I know I’m on the right track”. I find that I spend a lot of time searching for shortcuts. I always seek the easy way. I distract myself from making decisions and commitments – the very things I need to do. I avoid pushing my boundaries and stay hidden away from the world. There are no real short cuts. Sure, there are smarter, more efficient and effective ways to get things done (I look for that kind of stuff all the time) but there aren’t really any shortcuts and the secrets aren’t really all that secret. I’ve learned a lot, really a lot, lot, lot in the last couple of years, but as I write these words I can’t help but think “where would I be now if instead of looking for shortcuts and distractions I had instead acted on the information I read in books years ago”? Where will I be in five years if I continue with the distractions rather than the decisions? What am I afraid of? I’m a pretty smart, creative fellow! Why do I hide my light under a bushel?
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.

So cool(:
Absolutely love your insight..And your new questions. And while many of us can support and give our feedback, I’m most interested in your wonderful responses because you are a pretty smart, creative fellow!
Though,I am a firm believer we are right where we’re supposed to be..and your questions and how you came to them lead me to believe you are on the precipice of change…that is perfect absolutely perfect for you(:

A question I’ve only learned very recently to remember to ask myself is…WHO CARES?? In the grand scheme of things. Will this matter 5 years from now? Another question that I think is important is “Am I in this present moment?” It is truly a blessing to be able to use our senses. To really see, feel, touch, taste, hear, and smell. To get out of our thoughts and into the moment.
In response to rn.paq911’s post:
interesting..I guess that is like “How important is it? But yours resonated with something..
Appreciate you(:

And if you think
those are simple questions,
keep in mind that most
people live their entire lives
without arriving at an answer."
