72u makes Big Talk

What is Big Talk? A question that slips under the surface and skips the small talk to reach something more meaningful. This morning, we at 72u, wrote our own Big Talk questions:

What was the scariest thing you’ve overcome? - Will

What is your definition of happiness? - Dana 

If I really knew you, I would know _________. - DK

What is your desert island book? Why? - Lewis

Who was the second person you fell in love with? - Knoxx

Who or what do you miss? - Jessica

What is the first thing you thought about when you woke up this morning? - Savannah 

What is a selfless/loving/kind act that someone did for you that really surprised you? - Kalina

When did you become you? - Maria

We then went around in a circle and challenged each other to answer these questions. It’s crazy how much you can learn about someone in a few moments of time. We have six weeks left. I’m curious to see what else there is to uncover.

Let’s skip the small talk, and ask the questions that really count… What are you goals in life? What would you do if you only had one day to live? Have you ever really loved? What is your biggest fear? Who am I? What is your passion? What makes you wake up in the morning? Who is the most important person in your life? Only one! How can you take what you learned today to make your life better tomorrow? How would you tell someone they stink?

I know that last one is silly but opening up to someone is so hard? I mean my biggest fear is being old and alone, and until I lost my wife to cancer almost two years ago I never thought I would ever feel alone… Even with my three little ones I still feel that way sometimes…
