Advice gets handed out free on every corner. A sharp question you pose to yourself is rarer and worth more.

REFLECTION

WHAT THIS MEANS

Advice is abundant because giving it is easy and costs nothing. A good question is rarer, and it does something advice cannot: it makes you produce an answer from inside your own situation, which is where all the relevant detail actually lives. Nobody else has enough information to be as useful as a well-aimed question you ask yourself.

Collect a few that work on you. What am I avoiding, what would I do if this were easy, who am I doing this for. Ask one of them on purpose this week rather than waiting for it to occur to you.

A QUESTION TO SIT WITH
