"The written word is a powerful one to start with ( when seeking personal insight)

When we’re thinking, 

thoughts move so rapidly that we can talk ourselves out of insights 

 before they have a chance to land. 

But when we write? 

When we write, 

the truth can spill out 

before we have the chance to stopper it up.

When diving for internal insights, 

one of the best tools you can have 

 is a good question.

A good question 

will unleash the truths you hoped to,

 but never thought you would, find.

Below are 26 questions to ask yourself
