401 Thoughtful and Deep Questions To Ask
Contents
I believe that life comes down to the questions that we ask, or DON’T ask. The better the question, the better the potential answers from the other person or people.
Ask your boss for a raise or ask your boss for the certain amount you want. Both will get you your desired outcome of getting a raise. But the second one will result in you making that certain number a month or year more that you truly want.
You are left feeling fulfilled simply by asking the question. And if the outcome happens, your new life resonates with the question you asked. Which our true questions, I believe, come deep from within our soul. They resonate with our soul. And hence, they connect with other people’s souls. Transcending the physical plane and connecting with people at a spiritual level.
This is where, I believe, is where true growth, happiness and fulfillment lye. When we can communicate at this level, the physical plane manifests itself in a way that we truly desire.
And this all starts with asking the right questions.
As far as deep questions to ask. You may be wondering what good ones are to ask to really allow you to get to know someone. Or even yourself.
Well below, I have done all I can to provide you with the deepest questions to ask. So you can get the most quality answers.
It will help you skip over surface level communication and become a deep diver. Both with yourself. Allowing you to “Know thyself”. As well as get to deeply know anyone you want to know deeply and completely.
Enjoy, my friend.
