I Keep Six Honest Serving Men
To get inspired, the preternaturally curious people I interviewed tend to ask five questions time and again: •What if? •Am I sure? •What’s next? •Have I looked closely enough? •Have I looked everywhere?

David Whyte Questions to ask yourself:
1. What helped you get here that you need to give away
Who are you when you’re the best to yourself and the world around you?
What is the beautiful question you’ve craddles through years of doubt?
What is too precious to ask?
How can you be friends with your longings?
What would you be if you failed to be yourself?
