What’s wrong is rarely the right question.
It implies that there is something that needs to be fixed, corrected, or cleaned up. Like maybe us.
But real life isn’t tidy. It’s broken, imperfect, and messy, which means that sometimes we are all of those things too.
It takes such courage to show up in the midst of our own emotional messiness. In those moments the right person asking the right questions at the right time can work wonders. The right questions can shine light into our darkness, open doors for conversations waiting to be had, uncover possibilities, kindle hope, and pave the way for next steps.
The right questions start with wanting to know what’s true. Not what’s wrong.
