Have you ever asked yourself "who I am?" Do you know? Do you care?
Do you think other people know who you are? Do you think they know you more than you do? Could that be possible?
Can you be yourself with other people? Can you be yourself if you've never been alone?
Does your personal perception of who you are change who you will become? Are you trying to be something you are not? Are you hiding the something(s) you are? Is there a difference? Do you know what it is?
I have no idea what the answers are for myself, let alone for the world, and yet, I find myself asking these questions regularly.
Why? Because questions are important. If you don't question, how will you understand? Professors, bosses, doctors - they all expect you to ask questions. But do you ask them? Are they thoughtful? Do you answer quickly when someone asks you something? Do you take your time? Does it matter?
I ran across a blog tonight, a brilliant, thought-provoking blog called Marcandangel.com. Read it. Follow it. It will change your life.
One of their articles is called "50 Questions That Will Free Your Mind". You can find it here. Tonight I read through them, and they are hard, difficult questions without an answer. Some of them I have asked before, and some of them have never occurred to me. And so, for the following 50 days, I will have an entry per day with an answer that is, I hope, genuine and thoughtful. At the end, I hope to have learned something.
As I do this, I challenge you to find your own answers, and if you're willing, to share them in the comments of each post.
