http://www.realityshifters.com  One of the most interesting things about paying attention to the questions we ask is the way they demonstrate the focal point of our attention. Sometimes there is a sense of playfulness in the back-and-forth interchange between questions we ask and the way subsequent events play out.

During one of my MBA school projects, I once worked with two partners on what began to seem to be a doomed mission to document data flow diagrams for departments at our school. When the first couple of departments we were to interviewed denied access to us, our query to one another, "What next?!" seemed to invite a series of further obstacles. After several weeks, we reached the deadline for our assignment and had absolutely nothing to show for our work. On the day of our group's presentation to our class, my team partners Susan and Stanley nominated me as group spokesperson, so I stepped forward to the front of the class to describe in somber tones the series of unfortunate events that had befallen us. When I mentioned how our team had asked, "What next?!" at various points on our journey, I saw a smile flicker across our teacher's face as he stood with arms crossed, leaning against the wall by the door. I relaxed a bit, noting how an element of intrinsic humor imbued our sorry tale with an undercurrent of vivacious effervescence, inviting smiles and then outright laughter as I described in pseudo-tragic terms the sequence of events that so clearly demonstrated our participation in some kind of divine comedy. I was amazed to see that by asking, "What next?!" we experienced such a wild experience that was so warmly received by our teacher and class, and I was further surprised and amazed when we got an "A" for our report!

The reason I encourage everyone to ask the question, "How good can it get?!" is that such a question naturally guides us to explore more positive outcomes than we would likely otherwise imagine. There is a great gift we can receive when we set aside our ego in order to allow ourselves a glimpse of the overall story in which we reside... for sometimes we may discover that inside some apparent tragedies lie comedies waiting to emerge.

Cynthia Sue Larson of RealityShifters brings out rabbit puppets to illustrate why we need to learn to forgive... and what a difference forgiveness makes in the way the universe responds to our questions. Three books are briefly discussed, including Cynthia's book, "Aura Advantage," Colin Tipping's book "Radical Forgiveness," and Philip Friedman's book, "The Forgiveness Solution."
