Because sometimes asking the right questions is the answer.

Ok I played along....

2. Which is worse, failing or never trying? Failing 
3. If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do? Because we really do not understand how to live.
4. When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done? Sadly, yes.
5. What is the one thing you’d most like to change about the world?I would like to make EVERYBODY truly happy.
6. If happiness was the national currency, what kind of work would make you rich? Counseling people, making music, writing.

8. If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently? I would be retired at 20 and make every day count.
9. To what degree have you actually controlled the course your life has taken? 20% at best.
10. Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things? I am worried about doing them BOTH.
11. You’re having lunch with three people you respect and admire.  They all start criticizing a close friend of yours, not knowing she is your friend.  The criticism is distasteful and unjustified.  What do you do? I would tell them that I know the person and she is a friend and they have it wrong.
12. If you could offer a newborn child only one piece of advice, what would it be? Do good.

14. Have you ever seen insanity where you later saw creativity? All the time!
15. What’s something you know you do differently than most people? I do lots of things differently. For example, I brush my teeth in the shower. I would sip water, keep in in my mouth to help me swallow medicine.
16. How come the things that make you happy don’t make everyone happy? Because I have such weird tastes. Or the things that make me happy are not good for me... or other people.

18. Are you holding onto something you need to let go of? Yeah. I am a packrat in more ways than one.
19. If you had to move to a state or country besides the one you currently live in, where would you move and why? I would move to a place where I can afford to live in a comfortable house by a warm water beach.
20. Do you push the elevator button more than once?  Do you really believe it makes the elevator faster? No I know it does not make it faster. But I push it just the same. I like pushing.... hahaha.

22. Why are you, you? Because I am.
23. Have you been the kind of friend you want as a friend? Yes.
24. Which is worse, when a good friend moves away, or losing touch with a good friend who lives right near you? A good friend moving away. It is easier to get back to getting in touch with someone close. Uggh I thought these questions were smart. I'm not so sure anymore.
25. What are you most grateful for? That God has been looking out for me and giving me love and blessings even when I do not deserve it.

41. If you knew that everyone you know was going to die tomorrow, who would you visit today? I would be too sad and depressed to pick one.

50. Decisions are being made right now.  The question is:  Are you making them for yourself, or are you letting others make them for you? I always make decisions for me.
