Do you worry about what might go wrong? Is fear keeping you trapped? Are you anxious for no apparent reason? Do you feel frozen by these emotions and incapable of happiness? What's the value of operating from worry, anxiety and fear? What if happiness were just a choice? If you'd like a change, ask “What if I lived my life from the excitement of what could go right, rather than the fear of what could go wrong?” Perhaps you've misidentified excitement as fear? Or maybe you're distracted by implants that are not really yours? In both cases, acknowledge it and demand change. And if you enjoy the news, talkback radio, many other media programs and most people's conversations, consider repeating “interesting point of view” for everything you see, hear or read. How much of your worry, fear, and anxiety is you being a highly attuned WiFi device, receiving all the thoughts, feelings and emotions of everyone around you and buying them as yours? Would you “Return to sender with consciousness?”

When you ask questions to create the changes you'd like, how often do you focus them on changing a situation with someone, or something else? For example, you don't enjoy working in your family business, but you do it to keep the incoming money in the family. So you start asking questions like “What will it take for the business to attract a plentiful supply of customers?” or “What will it take for the other family members to do their jobs even better?” assuming that if you can generate more customers and greater efficiency for the business, it can and will hire someone else to do your job. You may create that outcome. Or you may create something completely different, including one which requires you to be even more involved. So if you'd like to make sure the changes you're asking for are aimed directly at the outcome you'd like for you, ask “Where am I in this?” In this case, you could ask “What will it take for the business to thrive and no longer require my labour, or something greater than I can imagine?
Is something not working the way you'd like? You didn't get the job? Your boss won't let you run the project the way you want? Your suppliers are demanding more? Your client base is shrinking? What else? Rather than focus and complain about what's NOT working, get clear on what IS possible. Sometimes, things won't change no matter what you do. If you'd like to know, ask “What's possible here? Can I change this? If so, how?” This question is designed to help you see ways to step around, walk away, dig under, or fly over the brick wall, rather than bang your head against it. Brick walls are not wrong and have no evil intent to hurt you. They are simply a brick walls by nature and are happy to stay that way, no matter how hard you try to change them. So get clear on the brick walls in your life and find other ways around or away. Your head will thank you for it.
