What To Ponder For 2017?

If you tend to answer a question with another question in return, we just might be kindred spirits. 

Across generations, industries, countries life appears to be revolving around questions. We ask ourselves what we are looking for in a romantic partner? We ask what are our goals for this next fiscal year? We ask how it felt leaving a country? And so the questions continue and continue for us to find meaning. Ultimately to me finding meaning is a part of the journey to find happiness for at least some portion of time.

Now is that time of the year for a rebirth, renewal and insert any other refreshing word that seems appropriate and starts with an "re" While many tend to write resolutions for the New Year, I want to start a new tradition and ask questions that I hope result in answers or even more questions (for there is a beauty in that too). So join me on this 2017 Question journey and we'll see where it takes us.
