If you had to, how would you?

I don’t remember where I heard it, but I love this question.

This question presupposes nothing.

It’s the one of the best questions you should ask yourself if you ever have an idea to do something but don’t know where to start.

It’s the perfect question to get you unstuck.

It’s the key to all possibilities.

It removes all aspects of professionalism or perfection.

It works in every situation.

You can take this question and lay it over any biography you’ve read, or any life story you’ve heard about an accomplished individual and somewhere buried in the story you’ll find some version of this question.

You might have hear it said as, “I didn’t know where to start, but just started,” or “I just had to do something,” and many more.

This is the question that leads to the non-expert individual that finds the cure for a disease, or the non-technical person that designs a mind blowing machine.

This is the question you can use to find your first step in any endeavor.

You see, what you do when you ask yourself this question is that you back your mind in to a corner and now it’s going to muster all its resources to find a way to get out.

If you find yourself up against a situation you’re struggling with, ask yourself this question and then write down every answer that comes to mind. No editing, just writing. Let your mind flow, and watch the answers pour out.
