When You Get Bad Answers in Life, Ask Better Questions

 When you’re getting bad answers in life, maybe ask better questions. video here: https://www.instagram.com/p/BsS32U_liMG/

I’m absolutely fascinated by brain chemistry and how non-logical/non-conscious stress response drives the vast majority of human behavior and belief. We like to think we’ve rationalized our way to every position, politic, worldview, and lifestyle; but functional MRI keeps showing us they even the most genius-level people on earth are acting and thinking first and foremost from an emotive place of amygdala triggers and associations, oftentimes wrong and only occasional right.

If I remember correctly, my dad actually got three or four in a row here, as well as a decent break. We were cranking Neil Diamond and I think he’d had a smidge of scotch. A few weeks prior he’d had a bout of pneumonia, a stoke and/or fall.

Challenges only grow to impossibilities if you let them. And it’s easy to let them when you ask the wrong questions.
