Is there a way? Wrong question.

Tim Bunting Kiwi Yamabushi

In what ways? Right question.

The way you ask questions determines the answer. Quite remarkably, in fact.

'Is there a way?’ sounds completely different to ‘in what ways is it possible?’ The onus is on not whether it’s possible or not, but in which ways it’s possible. This changes your thinking from ‘if only’ to ‘how?’ A very productive way to go about things.

In the same vein, in general, yes/no questions should also be avoided. Think past the yes/no, and think towards possibilities and opportunities. Otherwise it’s not really worth thinking about in the first place.
