And that's what I would say.
Ask large questions.
As children, we did.
What was this about?
Why am I here?
What's the story?
What's going on here?
We get so inured to those questions by our adaptive necessities.
And we have to come back to those questions.
I'm still asking those questions.
I do it consciously now.
Ask large questions, you'll live a large and interesting journey.
Ask small questions and it gets diminished somehow.
Another thing I say to a lot of patients, when you reach a decisive point in your life, we have to make a decision one way or the other.
Ask, does this path enlarge me?
psycho-spiritually or does it diminish me?
And you usually know the answer to that.
If you choose the larger path, you're going to grow and develop, but it's going to take something out of you, but it'll give something to you.
If you don't, your life gets narrower and narrower and narrower.
And something inside of you knows the difference.
