Ask Questions

I have two young boys who are almost constantly asking questions and as much as it can drive me crazy at times, the truth is they are getting the answers they seek a good portion of the time. In my line of work, I almost always have to ask questions and I could probably do a a better job of it. In fact, I might get more of the answers I seek if I weren’t so hesitant to ask questions.

When it comes to reading and writing, we are always asking questions. Who is the main character? What are they trying to do and why? Are they successful? The questions could go on and on, but the purpose of what we read or write is the same—to answer the questions.

So why am I going on about questions this week. Well, I’ve come to the realization that I’m not alone in my hesitation to ask all the questions I need to and should. And I am not really sure why our hesitation exists to begin with. Why is it we go from being curious kids to adults who think we have all the answers. And is being the latter really beneficial to us? I would say no. If anything, I would say it harms us to not ask questions and seek answers to so many things in life. But then, that is just my opinion.

Happy writing this week!
