Asking The Right Questions
(and Stepping Out Of Your Comfort Zone)
By Philip Holder PhD
Copyright 2014
For decades I told students that getting the right answer to the wrong question is no more beneficial than getting the wrong answer to the right question. Often people find themselves in the same situations over and over again. In part this is because; unlike the old saying, “Familiarity breeds contempt”, the opposite is actually true… Familiarity breeds comfort. It is for this reason that when shopping people will buy the name-brand over the generic brand (assuming money is not a crucial issue). It’s the reason that a person may leave one bad relationship and then reconnect with someone else who’s a clone of the previous object of their affection. Usually, when they first meet this “new” person, they will say something like: “I feel like I’ve known this person all my life.” Well, that may be because they were already comfortable with the familiar traits that they were experiencing with that new person. After a few months go by, and the new relationship starts floundering and they can’t understand what went wrong.
I would suggest that there are two critical changes in mindset that must be made if you choose to change the direction of your life and increase your level of happiness. One is a willingness to step outside of your comfort zone even if it makes you feel a bit unsafe and vulnerable. The second is to reevaluate the questions that you are asking instead of wondering why you don’t get better answers to the same old questions.
People typically get stuck in a rut and have trouble breaking free from their comfort zone and the habitual and familiar behaviors that give them a sense of safety. As well, people sometimes feel that they have so much time, money, or emotional energy invested into something that they must simply push on. There’s an old saying, “Change before you have to”. What usually occurs, however, is an unwillingness to change until there’s no other choice. Then oftentimes it’s too late.
If you are not getting useful answers to the questions you’ve been asking about yourself and about your life perhaps it’s time to reevaluate the questions that you’re asking. For example, let’s say the question at hand is: “How is it that I work so hard and still can’t get that promotion?” If a productive answer continues to evade you, it may be simply that the question is flawed. Perhaps the question should be: “Am I in the right place and doing what will make me happy for the rest of my life?” If, for example, someone repeatedly tries to get another person to like them with no success and repeatedly asks the question: “Why don’t they like me?, perhaps that question is flawed. Maybe a better question would be: “Why do I feel the need to have that person like me?” That question, it seems to me, would give the individual greater insight about themselves.
In my therapy practice, more often than not, there is one simple reason that the person in my chair is struggling to find answers in their lives… It simply is because they’re asking themselves the wrong questions. In fact I view my job, in great part, as helping people discover a more productive way of asking the right questions about the important things affecting their lives. Most people, at some level, already know the answers to the questions that seem to perplex them. They simply need a little coaching to identify the right questions to ask.

Philosophy: Something To Think About
The Unknown
by Grandmaster/Dr. Philip Holder
Copyright 1996/2014
Do not fear the unknown… Welcome it. It is walking the path more so than arriving at the destination that will give you the greatest joy. It is the mental challenges, sensual stimulation, victories, and hardships alike that let us know that we are alive.
Giving From The Heart
by Grandmaster/Dr. Philip Holder
Copyright 1996/2014
For goodness, we will be remembered by what we give
For bad, we will be remembered for what we take.
Giving is only truly giving when it is from the heart with no expectations
If you expect something in return, it is barter, not heartfelt generosity.
Give and help out of kindness and love. Not with expectations.
If you are truly in charge of your life, you do not act based on the actions of others.
To be in control of your life and free from the control of others, you cannot make decisions and take actions based on the actions or direction of others.

Thoughts By
by Grandmaster/Dr. Philip Holder
Copyright 1996/2014
* It is the journey not the arrival that is significant.
* If we are always growing and learning there is in fact no final destination.
* Uncertainty should not be feared. It should be looked at as representing unlimited possibilities. It is all in how one looks at life.
* Too much time dwelling in where you are headed and you miss the significance of the moment.
* There are no guarantees.
* Trust yourself.
* Be true to your own nature
* In making decisions, let go of fear, worry and guilt. Trust in the process
Author Unknown: One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school. His name me was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, “Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd.”I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes.My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, I saw a tear in his eye. As I handed him his glasses, I said, “Those guys are jerks. They really should get lives.” He looked at me and said, “Hey thanks!” There was a big smile on his face.
It was one of those smiles that showed
real gratitude.I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before. He said he had gone to private school before now. I would have never hung out with a private school kid before.
We talked all the way home, and I carried some of his books. He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play a little football with my friends. He said yes. We hung out all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him, and my friends thought the same of him.
Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again. I stopped him and said, “Boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday!” He just laughed and handed me half the books.Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends. When we were seniors, we began to think about college. Kyle decided on Georgetown, and I was going to Duke. I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem. He was going to be a doctor, and I was going for business on a football scholarship.Kyle was valedictorian of our class. I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare a speech for graduation. I was so glad it wasn’t me having to get up there and speak. Graduation day, I saw Kyle.
He looked great. He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school. He filled out and actually looked good in glasses. He had more dates than I had and all the girls loved him. Boy, sometimes I was jealous. Today was one of those days. I could see that he was nervous about his speech. So, I smacked him on the back and said, “Hey, big guy, you’ll be great!” He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled. “Thanks,” he said.
As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began. “Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach…but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story.” I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn’t have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home.
He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. “Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable.” I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. I saw his Mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize its depth.
Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person’s life. For better or for worse. God puts us all in each other’s lives to impact one another in some way. Look for God in others.
