Question Everything!



"Why?"  This was a question we asked a lot when we were younger.  The question drove our parents crazy and likely resulted in some less then correct answers to get us to stop asking.  Unfortunately as we grew, we asked "why" less mostly because it was easier to "go with the flow".

Today, many adults take what they hear on the news, from friends and family and what they read at face value.  Sometimes the information is correct, sometimes the information is out of date and a lot of the time the information is inaccurate or outright wrong.

Adventure is all about exploring and this includes exploring beliefs, especially deep rooted beliefs.  This can be scary and it can be enlightening.  You may discover that your beliefs are well founded and solid and you'll likely find some that need to be re-evaluated.

Get back to asking "Why", I guarantee it'll be fun.

Ask Questions


“The questions you ask are more important than the things you could ever say.”

— Tom Freese



The best way to learn about something or someone is to ask a question and then actively listen.

Learning to ask someone a question and then actively listening is hard to do because most of us have been programmed from an early age to not ask questions and we like to talk about who we are instead of finding out about someone else.

However, by practicing the art of asking questions and actively listening you'll discover more then you could ever imagine.  In fact it can be a fun adventure that can be taken every day.
