Monday Mindset: Ask Better Questions!
from The Ultramarathon Mindset: Trail Talk · host Eric Deeter
The education system conditions us to find the "first right answer." We have to learn the answers so we can repeat them back when we're asked to provide them. So we come out with a framework of "answers" that condition us to see how the world works and what our role is supposed to be in the world.Another word for "framework" is a Matrix. Yes, I want you to think about the movie. That is the world we live in.And we stay trapped in the Matrix of the answers we "know" until we learn how to ask higher-value questions. Answers will keep you stuck where you are. But asking better questions will set you free to live an epic life.
