You know how we tend to always answer the same way when asked certain questions?
- Q: How are you?
- A: Good
- Q: How’s Work?
- A: Good
- Q: How’s the family/wife/husband/kids?
- A: Good
COME ON! There is so much more to the story.
Earlier this week, a dear friend came to visit and when she asked, “What do you WANT to do?” I started to say “I donno” and change the subject, as usual. Then I stopped. I did know. I just didn’t know how to translate it into a job. So instead, I just admitted this and a relatively short discussion reveled that she actually has a friend who helps folks find the experience for the job they want, embedded in the stuff they’ve already done. KINDA IMPORTANT don’t you think? If I had only said ‘I donno’ I would never have learned this. And now, I have some butterflies in my belly at the idea of making a shift in 2012 
Answering questions thoughtfully, listening and asking questions in return can lead to really surprising information. (ok this particular frend probably would have told me I was lying and we would have gotten there eventually, so good friends are also a good idea. Listening and asking questions also leads to good friends. Go figure.)
And also? VERY EXCITED FOR 2012!!!
Just thought I would mention that
