We can communicate these ideas and these feelings and communicate to another soul, to another heart and share that. We can communicate. We can have conversations. It's great.

Quality questions. Exactly. It is the space in which you hold those quality questions. That's it. If you create the space, we can talk about what that means, and we construct really quality questions, we can have incredible conversations. If we have incredible conversations, we have incredible relationships. If we have incredible relationships, we can have an incredible life.

If you're looking to have a conversation where you're exploring the grave, you're exploring your relationship, don't ask a binary question. If you begin a question with is, are, do, should, I don't care what comes after those words. If you start anything with is, Are, do, or should. It is a binary question. Is this the thing we should do? Are you in love with me? Do you love me?

Is this the thing we should do? Are you in love with me? Do you love me?

Do you think we're happy? Should we do this? Yes, no, done. Left, right. You don't even have to tell me the question. Just tell me what the first word of the question is. Versus why, how. What or in what way? You start that, you cannot give a binary response. You can't answer, why do you love me with yes or no? You could say, I just do. That works.

But what I'm saying is that the invitation begins with the question and the question even begins with the first word of the question. And we are not taught in our society how to build good questions. I was just listening to a podcast with Elon Musk where he said, he says, of course, many times we answer the right answer. We find the right answer to the wrong question.

We spend so much time on the answer. We don't spend time exploring the question. And much like a race is shaped by the race course that it's run on, Our answers are shaped by the questions we ask.

And we do not bring enough attention to the questions we ask in every facet, whether it's your business, whether it's how you speak to yourself or how you speak to your children or how you speak to your partner. We don't pay attention to the questions we ask. And that is where 80% of the power lies.
