The Million Dollar Question

Yesterday, while I was walking my dog I was thinking of a question that I would really like answered. However, I am not going to tell you what the question was, because that is not the point. I was thinking about this particular question and how if I had the answer to it life would be a lot more simple. Everyone has their own "million dollar question," the question that if answered would provide a clear path and a clear conscience. I always think that I would like to sit down with someone older then me, who has lived a full life, and just fire off rounds of question. But then I began to think.........hey, they cleared their own path, so why shouldn't I? If I had the answer to my "million dollar question" then everything would just fall into place? Then I could stop thinking about the many possible answers I had been forming in my head?
No.
Now what fun would that be? We have to make our own answers to out million dollar questions. The range is limitless and we can explore what answer suits us best, because you know that one piece of advice is almost never enough. I think that is what life is about. You began to learn the answers to all your "million dollar questions" by trial and error. Of course your going to make mistakes and not always choose the best answer, but eventually you will get the hang of it. And then you will have answered that mind blogging question yourself, through years of living.
So I challenge you, next time you form a "million dollar question," try and explore it yourself. Ultimately, the answer you will find will be much more gratifying than any answer that could have been provided to you.
