I keep a short list of questions in the front of my notebook. I do not answer them so much as revisit them. The answers change; that is the point.

1. What am I pretending not to know?
2. What would I do this week if I were not afraid of looking foolish?
3. Whose approval am I still working for?
4. What have I outgrown that I am still carrying?
5. What do I do when no one is watching?
6. Which of my commitments is a promise and which is a habit?
7. What am I avoiding by staying busy?
8. Who has been kind to me recently, and have I said so?
9. What would "enough" look like this year?
10. If this were the last good year, what would I not want to have skipped?

A good question works like a stone in a stream: it does not stop the water, but it changes the way it moves.
