QUESTIONS

Her friend's words echoed in her ears, "It's because she's an only child..." These words were enough to upset Sienna. Sienna went to have dinner with her friend. When the children got together, they immediately started playing, and the adults began chatting.

Sienna said, "Elizabeth keeps talking about your kids all the time. She insists on visiting her friends at odd times. Do you also have these crises?" Her friend replied, "She's probably looking for a playmate, even though my kids bicker, they are playmates to each other. Yours is an only child, that's why.”

When Sienna remembered this moment, she felt a sense of happiness, she was at peace. Although they had wanted it very much, her daughter had never had a sibling. Until recently, this situation had hurt her. Sometimes she felt sad and cried. But now she knew how to react to it.

She had recently attended a seminar, which had greatly comforted her. Before, her mind was filled with many questions about what she had experienced or hadn't experienced. Sienna was a curious person.  She would research, she would make an effort to find out the truth. No matter how hard she tried, she had questions she could not find the answer to. Even if someone explained it to her, she would still have answers that didn't sit well in her head.

There was probably nothing more comfortable than learning why one lives the way one does. Knowing the reason, and understanding the truth, brought peace of mind and helped people make better decisions. Thus, it made people happier and more successful than yesterday.

What we saw as a "problem" was actually a question waiting for an answer. Life was asking a question to every person. There was no way to escape from that question. These questions came to strengthen a person against life, to provide them with an advantage in the face of challenges.  The important thing was how we perceived it and how we answered it. We were giving such answers that our questions kept growing and coming back to us. Instead of gaining an advantage, we became increasingly disadvantaged with every answer. Yet, there were also answers we gave that caused the question to shrink until it no longer occupied our attention. The more we gave the right answers, the stronger we became and the more difficult questions we were able to solve.

This was a question for Sienna. Life had asked her a question by giving her an only child. How would she answer this question? Would she feel guilty? Would she spend her whole life feeling sad? Would she envy large families and cry every time she saw them? Would she feel jealous of them? Or would she blame others? Would any of this make her stronger?

If this question had been asked to her, the one who asked it surely knew the right answer too. What kind of response was expected from her?

Of course, she would answer by making the right assessment of what she had been given. This was done by learning the real rules of life. She was being asked to make the best meal out of the ingredients at hand. An only child was a fact she could not change at the moment. Every advantage had a disadvantage and every disadvantage had an advantage. So this also applied to the question for Sienna. She had to decipher them. She had to take measures for her disadvantages. She had to develop those sides, she had to find ways to do that. She would also learn to use her advantages.

“We can be happy and successful by focusing on our own reasons and not on the results of others,” said the narrator. Her friend also had questions on other subjects. Some had questions about an illness, some about a breakup, some about their relationships, some about their jobs, but there was always a question!

Just as we deserve to be able to read when we learn the letters correctly, and we can add and subtract correctly when we learn the numbers correctly, we encounter stories in which we can be happier and more successful in life when we solve the questions in front of us correctly. Sienna's path crossed with a resource where she could learn how to answer questions correctly. She was happy because she had chosen to grow her solutions, not her problems. Now she wanted to tell everyone. She wanted everyone she loved to learn how to get the right answers and live a happier life.
