Meaningful and deep conversations can have a big impact on somebody’s perspective over life or self and can lead to amazing unexpected insights. And truly there’s no better way to start a meaningful conversation than through asking the right questions and I personally have always loved good open questions. They have also helped me move forward in life and understand more of what’s inside rather than what’s going on outside. Also, if you meet someone you feel an immediate connection with, ask them these deep questions not only to get to know them very quickly on an intimate level but also to spark a light within their spirit.
Here are my favorite 50 questions to help you discover more about yourself or others:
