These questions make for enriching dinner table conversation, but they can be equally illuminating if you simply ask them of yourself. I stumbled onto the idea of asking big questions because I needed them myself. They drive our growth, and we can come back to them year after year.

1. Is there a day in your life you really regret? Is there a day you would like to revisit?
2. Is there a story in your or your family’s life that you tell often?
3. Do you tell the story differently than it, happened why?
