I've always been fascinated by the power of a good question.

You know, the reality that there's certain questions that were asked at points in our life

that cause us to almost stop in our tracks and think or broaden

the lens in which we're viewing existence or ourselves in such a way that it elicits a response

that we just couldn't have even thought of or known about. You know, it puts us into contact

with parts of ourselves that we don't really

understand or that we weren't aware of or brings us into the realization of a truth that we've

been trying to dig for for months or weeks or years. And all of a sudden, somebody asks us a

question that makes that answer pop up so, so easily, you know, that it's

like ridiculous and awe invoking and inspiring. And for me, questions have always had and played

this role in my life where I've been fortunate enough to be asked some pretty powerful questions by some absolutely

incredible individuals.

And so today I wanted to share the five questions that have the potential to change your

life and the five questions that have undeniably changed my own life.

And before I give you the five questions, I want to just quickly talk

about this notion of the shadow and using something that I call sentence stems to evoke the shadow.

And so the shadow is a concept that Carl Jung created. It's basically a part of your unconscious

mind. And it is the sort of place of storage for all the

parts, all the elements, all the things that you don't necessarily like about yourself.

It's where you put the pain from your childhood. It can be where you put your insecurities and

your fears, all the elements of yourself that you dislike, that you don't want other people to know

about, that you feel like you have to hide in order to be accepted or loved or attractive enough
