What are the really big questions? How complicated are they? Are they simple in nature or so complex they are obscured completely from human view? What is your perspective for asking or knowing the big questions? Well, let’s start with time. Where are we/you right now? Here in the moment? Or are you somewhere else in your mind-scape? The big questions have to be sourced and centred in the moment for that is all there is—this very present moment. Big questions always come down to what you are doing right now. Does your current activity contribute to the moment or not?

Whoa … that’s a really big question! Just what the hell does contribute to the moment mean exactly?

We have already discussed the idea that what you do today does not matter so much to today. Rather, in the positive context, it is more like earning or compounding interest on money or like rust or decay in the negative context. Perhaps that creates a thought for you about scalability1. If you have some money that is making money for you, then you are not having to make that money at this moment. If you have hired or delegated, then there are others doing your bidding and getting things accomplished for you in this moment—just like there could be others tearing things apart for you at this moment or investments that could be losing money. It works both ways. The point is that, at this moment, every potential outcome hinges on your actions and thoughts, but mostly in little incremental ways—like interest income. It is often not hugely significant for right now, except when we are poised at a crossroads and deciding on a significant risk or reward. Fortunately, we are not faced with these decisions on a frequent basis, but their infrequency creates a dangerous condition for us—a chronic lack of skill at making effective decisions under conditions of uncertainty.

So back to the big question, can you do/think things in every moment that contribute to the moment? You can, if that’s what you decide to do and you stick to that decision until it just becomes what you are, and who you are. The choice is yours. True warriors live in and around every moment of their lives, because they understand that what they do, each and every moment of their lives, does in fact matter … and matter enough for them to be proactive and strive for perfection in their daily living.

You are warriors. Ask the big question, and embrace the answer … for in doing so, you will achieve greatness and wealth beyond your most extreme imaginings. So it has been written.
