Now what?

Now what? is such a delightful question. Depending on the context and syntax, it has this amazing versatility to it, and I've been intentionally leaving more and more space to answer this question myself.

Now what? could be a wonderful question to ask at the completion of a major project or as we're about to hit a significant milestone.

Now what? could signify the closing of a chapter, the end of an experiment, a relationship, or a business.

Now what? could be a question that comes when seemingly all other options have been exhausted.

Now what? could reflect an openness to create with what the universe has given you.

I really like that this question seems to have a built in listening component to it. When I ask myself now what?, I am open and receptive to what answers will come through. I may have an idea or suspicion of what the answer might be, but just by pausing to contemplate this question I am leaving the door open.

One of the most powerful attributes I've seen in entrepreneurs is the ability to be flexible in their approach to solving problems. They have certainty in where they are going and simultaneously are open to all the avenues that will take them there.

When we ask now what?, we are allowing ourselves to be curious with alternative approaches that may not yet have revealed themselves.
