3 Questions That Can Change Everything

🌀 How three powerful questions reframe your experience and growth.

Inheritance

Born in France, I naturally inherited many traits of that culture. It has taken decades of exposure to diverse cultures to adjust these ingrained characteristics. One trait that stands out is a pervasive negative outlook: a tendency to focus on what doesn’t work before appreciating what does, to expect criticism before praise, our teachers insisted this was how we improved.

We were taught to be realistic, which often meant limiting ourselves to avoid 'unbelievable' adventures, thus losing sight of our dreams.

As a coach, I recognize this pattern in almost all my clients. I was looking for a tool, a practice, that would rewire our brains towards a more neutral and natural viewpoint. I sought something practical, concise, easy to implement, and applicable in any situation. What I discovered was more than that. Not only are these three questions the culmination of that effort, but they contain more magic than I could grasp at first.

These are like little Trojan horses; once you host them in your consciousness, they will release their magic.

Questions and answers are like the chicken and egg story. Most people believe the question comes first. I believe questions are the sound of answers wanting to be found.

The magic is already here.

I promise that consistently applying these questions will drastically change your life for the better. These seemingly simple inquiries are, in fact, an alchemical magic trick, they wield a deep psychological impact and foster incredible growth.
