I recently came across a book called “Live In Wonder”. The book contains a number of quotes, quests and pointed questions. The following questions, as well as a few I’ve added myself, are questions we should all be asking ourselves. These can also serve as great conversation starter questions with friends or strangers alike.
If you have some you think should be added, please comment!
