Your lives are so good you don’t need help. Mazel tov! Auntie is going to help you anyhow. But unlike all those people who are trained or inspired or otherwise motivated, I’m just going to ask you to do stuff.
Today’s request is something that turned out to be a bit of a life-changer for me, and I think it might do the same for you. If not, remember, you didn’t even have to buy a fortune cookie.
Instead of checking Facebook again or watching that movie trailer for the fifth time, try this: I want you to ask someone a question.
No, it’s not that easy. Here are the rules:
1. The question can’t be about you. Not even in a cute passive implied way.
2. You have to ask one person, no posting online for the community to see.
3. It has to be a real question. This means you don’t already know the answer. If you think you know the answer but aren’t positive, pick another question.
4. You have to listen to the answer.
That’s it. Hit up a stranger on the street. Text your buddy, or leave a voice mail for your mom. What time is it? What phase of the moon? What’s your sign – no, maybe not that one. I’m not handing you the answers, which in this case, like on Jeopardy, are the questions.
Oh, and of course it would be nice if you said thank you, and maybe even responded, but that’s extra credit and not part of the assignment. Good luck!
