Let's ease into something big today — what really makes life feel worth living. I'd love to hear your honest thoughts.

“When you think about your own life right now, what gives you the deepest sense of fulfillment?”

“Do you believe a person's purpose is something they discover, or something they create for themselves?”

“If you could sit down and contemplate one profound question about existence, what would it be?”

“Would you rather live a comfortable life or an authentic one that stays true to who you really are?”

“Have you ever had an experience that seemed to transcend the ordinary and change how you see the world?”

Fresh topic questions — none repeat until you have seen them all
