“I didn’t know I had a choice…”

I heard myself uttering these words last night as I was talking to my wife. We had just had a small job done resiting an unsightly power cable at no cost whatever. We had lived with this eyesore for 15 years and I had no idea that all that was required was a call to the utility company and a little man came around and shifted it. She said to me “That sounds like a good topic for a blog to me“….

The thing is, we go through our lives moving along a well-trodden path, often looking neither left nor right, a bit like rats in a maze that have been well conditioned as to where to find their food. There are so many alternatives out there that we no longer see, even more that are there for the finding if only we thought to ask some simple questions. Questions are mighty powerful things and they can bring all sorts of serendipitous events into our lives. “Seek and ye shall find, ask and ye shall receive”

Today might be a great day to ask a few questions, create some new options, make a new choice….

“Quality questions create a quality life. Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers.” Anthony Robbins
“Study a lifetime and you see different colours from the same jewel. The same questions, asked again, being you just the answers you need just the minute you need them.” Richard Bach
