One great question can change the entire trajectory of your life. Take a kid that shop lifts from a store and gets caught. The cops come, cuff her and take her to jail. Soon the parents are called and have to come post bail. They are shocked by how much. And all because the kid didn’t think through an idea in their head. What if I get caught?
Another kid gets bullied on a regular basis and one day grabs his dad’s gun to find that punk with the pumped up kicks. But just before he pulls the trigger he has the thought that he will end up in jail forever, a very painful vision, so he puts a round into a nearby tree instead. Good question that kid had because I would have missed seeing Bo crush it on the diamond and smash them on the gridiron. Yeah, that’s Bo Jackson’s story.
So here’s one great empowering question… Will this bring long term pain? Key word is long because short term pain can lead to a long term.
