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.
- How have you managed to survive (or thrive) thus far, given the challenges you have had to contend with?
- How have you been able to rise to the challenges put before you?
- What was your mind-set as you faced these difficulties?
- What have you learned about yourself and your world during your most difficult times?
- Which of these difficulties have given you special strength, insight, or skill?

Welcome. I find they make great journaling prompts, as much as they make for good in-depth conversation.

Great questions to ask ourselves, and to really be honest about, to remember that we have overcome many difficulties. Peace to you.
