Burning Questions

Tuesday, October 21, 2008
I am a lover and collector of questions.....strange hobby, I know. But I can't help myself! I love to ask questions and be asked questions. I read book after book about mysteries and secrets and all things unknown. Must be why I chose to study the oh so lucrative field of archaeology in college!
All that being said, I am in the midst of creating a new business and am working though a workbook by Shiloh Sophia McCloud. It's called "Heart of the Visionary, A Workbook for Women's Work".
In the author's opening letter to her readers, I was struck by a series of questions she calls Burning Questions. She says they lead to an awakened heart......I found this to be very true, so I thought I'd share the love....
  • What animal would you be if you could be any?
  • What work are you into? What projects....
  • What is on your mind first thing in the morning, before your eyes are open?
  • Are you happy?
  • Are you doing work you enjoy?
  • What are you working on that is thrilling you?
  • What dream keeps coming back that is yet to be fulfilled?
  • Are you doing your life work-not just a work life?
  • Is there a dream you are nursing in the quiet?
  • Do you have an unreasonable desire?
  • What stories no longer serve you?
  • What project can I begin that inspires me?
  • How can I deepen my spiritual practice?
  • What am I excited about? I mean thrilled about....
  • Have I let too much of my bad girl go and replaced her with too much of the good girl?
  • How do I self medicate, and is it working?
  • What do I really long for?
  • What do I find most beautiful?
  • What would need to happen in my life for it to feel like a visionary life, a life well led?

Did any question awaken a place in you that you had long forgotten?

The questions are wonderful "points to ponder" and great icebreakers for upcoming parties this season!
And archeology? Oh how wonderful!
