🌱 The Questions That Shape You

Dear Explorer,

If I could give you one powerful tool for growth, it wouldn’t be a new app or strict routine. It would be something far simpler—something you already use every day: the questions you ask yourself.

Your mind works like a quiet search engine. Hand it a disempowering question like “Why am I always stuck?” and it will dig up endless reasons to confirm it. But give it an empowering one like “What’s one step I could take today?” and suddenly, it starts finding doors instead of walls.

The truth is this: your life bends toward the quality of the questions you live with.

A Simple Shift

Instead of:
❌ “Why is this happening to me?”
Try:
✅ “What can I learn from this that will help me grow stronger?”

Instead of:
❌ “Why am I not enough?”
Try:
✅ “What would it look like to show myself more kindness right now?”

At first these swaps seem small. But like seeds, they grow into something much larger over time.

Your Practice This Week 🌟

Pick one empowering question in the morning. Write it down, carry it with you, and let it guide your focus through the day. You’ll be surprised how quickly your brain rises to answer it.

P.S. Many of you know my love of the night sky. Outside of this newsletter, I’ve been building a YouTube channel where I teach the craft of astrophotography—how to actually capture galaxies, nebulae, and planets with a camera. 🌌 If that’s something you’ve ever been curious about, I’d love to have you join me there: Your Astrophotography Channel.
