💡 CheatCode #141: The Second Question
Unlock the truth by going one layer deeper.
“The quality of your life depends on the quality of your questions.” — Tony Robbins
Most people accept the first answer they’re given — from others and from themselves.
High performers ask the second question:
“Why?”
“What’s actually driving this?”
“What am I really avoiding?”
“What outcome do I truly want?”
The first answer is defensive.
The second answer is revealing.
The third answer is transformative.
