The Hard Questions

The really valuable questions are the hard ones. The easy questions can easily be answered because the answer is essentially already provided.

The hard questions require us to go somewhere new.

Without going somewhere new, the questions and answers do not provide the same value.

It's the hard questions that push for more value.

Easy questions allow us to think and answer as we always have. Comfort. Crippling comfort. Read more in my previous post about this subject.

We can ask hard questions of others and gain a much more valuable dialogue.

But, if we can ask ourselves honest, hard questions, the amount of potential is boundless. The tough part though is being willing to abandon the easy, automatic questions. To abandon, if only temporarily, what we believe, to see if possibly there is a better answer. This also requires the highest intellectual honesty.

Leave rigid thinking behind. It harms the rigid thinker yes, but also harms those in their sphere of influence.

May we have the courage to ask hard questions. Regardless of repercussions.
