Thinking about having a single powerful question can be unsettling.

Some may feel it sounds too restrictive, as they like having many questions. Others are a bit put off, as if it might mean they are lacking something. Still others may feel it would commit them to a particular course of action.

I think the underlying issue we all share is a fear of “not knowing” because “knowing” is fundamental to feeling in control. Notice, I say, “feeling.” However, we will never get to that place of real “knowing” without first entering the place of “unknowing.” A powerful question is the intentional way to open the door to knowing our authentic self and our greater purpose.
