Three Powerful Questions To Ask When Faced With A Challenge

Whenever we are faced with a challenge, we are also faced with a choice. We can either choose to take on the role of the victim, complaining and bemoaning our ill-fate. Or seek to mine the challenge for the good that inherently is within each and every single challenge. To allow for the latter, we are wise to lean into these powerful questions to make us open and available to catch the gift and the blessing of transformation to reveal itself that we may grow through our challenge.

Blessings and welcome to the path to freedom.

This path about us waking up to who and what we are.

This path about us allowing for greater and greater expressions of that who and what to emerge and for us to allow for all of the peace and all of the love and all of the joy and all of the harmony and all of the abundance and all of the wholeness that is inherently within us,

That is right where we are in each and every single moment to well up,

To flow through us,

To fountain up from within us,

To erupt from within us.

My name is Daniel Roquejo and I'm always very grateful to be able to say welcome and I'm grateful for you saying yes,

For you choosing to engage in mind expanding or consciousness expanding activities.

I'm grateful that you're choosing to raise your vibration and expand your consciousness.

So the theme for this particular talk is three powerful questions and perhaps you've heard me talk about before that it has been said and stated that the lives,

That the quality of our lives is determined by the quality of the questions that we ask.

And generally we can say that there are two types of questions.

There are disempowering questions and there are empowering questions.

Disempowering questions,

These are questions that either keep us stuck where we are or that induce low vibration thoughts and feelings and emotions and experiences such as a sense of being a victim,

A sense of someone out there doing something to me or something out there doing something to me.

So these questions are disempowering and they are the subject of another talk so if you're interested in hearing more about that I invite you to come back.

And then there are empowering questions and these are questions that basically raise our vibration and expand our consciousness.

Questions that make us open and available to see through new eyes.

Questions that make us receptive for truths and revelations and realizations that help us grow,

That help us expand for them to reveal themselves.

Because we want to be clear and we want to be aware that Spirit is always answering every single one of our questions.

Whenever we ask a question,

Spirit is always answering and oftentimes God is answering these questions before we even ask them.

But as it is with having this human incarnation and having to deal with everything that is going on within us and everything that is going on around us,

It is not always that we're tuned in,

It is not always that we are quiet enough,

That we're still enough to catch these answers.

Because we want to also be aware that whenever we ask a question it is not Spirit,

It is not the universe,

It is not the cosmos,

It is not the sacred laws that change because of us asking the question.

But when we ask the question we tune into the frequency of catching that answer.

So it is us,

By asking a question it is us who are changing.

And we have also talked about how every single challenge is a gift and a blessing of transformation.

We've talked about how Spirit is eternally for every single one of us and never ever against us,

Always seeking to guide and lead and move us into ever greater and greater expressions.

And so as we move into a challenge and as we come face to face with the challenge,

The way to navigate through that challenge and to grow through that challenge is by seeking not where to place blame,

But how to grow and to seek the good,

To mine the good in that challenge.

And this is where these three questions come in.

And I'm gonna just briefly go through them or I'm gonna briefly name them and then I'm gonna talk a little bit about them,

Each of them.

And then I'm gonna leave it up to you to practice them because it is the practice that makes the difference.

It is us utilizing the tools that we've been given that makes the difference.

So these three questions that we can use to navigate or to mine the good out of any challenge is one,

What good is here that I presently cannot see?

What good is here that I presently cannot see?

And the next question would be,

What is my lesson here?

What is my lesson here?

And the third question would be,

How can I grow?

How can I grow?

And so whenever we come face to face with a challenge,

We can use any one of these three questions.

And so the way to do it is to ask the question,

To turn within,

To seek to become still and catch the answer.

Whenever we ask a question,

It is not for us to figure the answer out.

It is not for us to figure anything out,

But we are to catch it.

We are to surrender to the answer being revealed to us in a language and in a way that we can understand.

So we ask the question,

Whichever question we feel the most inspired and compelled by,

It doesn't really matter which question we ask.

They all point in the same,

They all point us in the same direction to mining the good,

To discovering the good,

To realizing the good that is fully present everywhere,

In every single space,

In every single place,

In every single moment.

The good of God is fully present.

So let's begin with the first question.

What good is here that I presently cannot see?

And what this question does may seem very obvious.

As we ask this question,

We're making ourselves open and available to see the good that we cannot see.

We're faced with a challenge,

We know and we trust that there is good in that challenge,

That that challenge presents a learning possibility,

That it is a stepping stone for us to move into a higher level of consciousness or to raise our vibration,

To release and let go of something that no longer serves us.

So we know all of that,

But we still cannot see the good,

We still cannot find the good.

So we simply ask,

What good is here that I presently cannot see?

So we ask the question and then we just listen and pay attention.

And at one point or another,

The answer will be revealed to us.

It may not come immediately,

Or we may not catch it immediately,

But sooner or later we will catch it.

So it is up to us and it is for us to be patient and to trust.

So that's the first question.

And the second question is,

What is my lesson here?

What is my lesson here?

So in this challenge,

I'm faced with this.

In order for me to grow beyond this and to go beyond this,

What is it that I need to learn?

Perhaps I need to be more patient,

Or perhaps I need to surrender more,

Or perhaps I need to learn to keep my mouth shut,

Or perhaps I need to be more compassionate or more generous or more trusting or more loving.

Perhaps I need to not just follow suit and do what everybody else is doing,

But find my own way,

Find my own path as unique and perfect individual.

The lessons are infinite.

We've all come here to learn these lessons.

So each and every single challenge that we're faced with is uniquely and divinely designed for us as unique and perfect individuals.

So the lesson and the good that I mine out of my challenges is not the same as the good that you mine out of your challenges.

Even if we were faced with the same challenge,

The lesson would be different for each of us.

So all these questions are for us,

Specifically,

Uniquely.

So what is my lesson here?

What's the next question?

And the third question,

And as you may realize,

These are only variations of the same question.

They always bring us to the same answer.

They always point us in the same direction,

Which is toward growth expansion,

Which is toward releasing and letting go of that which no longer serves us.

The last and final question is,

How can I grow?

Well once again I'm faced with a challenge,

And instead of complaining and bemoaning over how miserable my life is and how bad things are going and how nothing is for me but everything's against me,

How life is against me,

And that life is an obstacle course that I need to navigate through just to make it through the day and to survive,

I stop,

I become still,

And I ask,

How can I grow?

If I was to stay this way,

And this is another angle of this question,

If I was to stay this way,

If nothing ever changed,

This condition or this circumstance was permanent,

What would I need to cultivate within myself to be able to live with it?

What would I need to learn in order to raise my vibration and sustain a high vibration?

If nothing outside of myself changed,

What would I need to change within myself for me to live a life filled with joy and love and happiness and wholeness and harmony and abundance?

So how can I grow?

Or what is my growing edge?

Right here,

Right now.

So these are three very,

Very powerful questions and very,

Very powerful tools that we can use to mine the good out of any challenge.

We need to be willing,

We need to want to seek the good,

We need to want to really be guided and moved and led.

We need to really want and be willing to do the inner work necessary,

But when we are,

The benefits and the blessings and the gifts out of asking these questions,

They are enormous.

And this is what the path of freedom is all about.

Us continuously growing,

Expanding,

Unfolding.

Us continuously releasing,

Letting go of that which no longer serves us.

Us completely and fully taking responsibility for every aspect of our lives.

Alright,

So until the next time,

I bless,

Bless,

Bless your day and I bless,

Bless,

Bless your way.

You beautiful,

Magnificent,

Wonderful,

Powerful being.

Namaste.
