The capacity to question is our greatest and yet least understood human asset. It’s why we’ve lasted as long as we have. In truth, we’d be dead without our ability to question. This is not how we typically think about questions. In fact, we don’t usually think about them at all – which is the problem. While it’s often said we are a storytelling species, the deeper and more enabling truth is that we are a questioning species. Questions give life to our curiosity. They fuel our personal growth. We problem solve and innovate through them.

In the meantime, all I can do is ask myself WWBD: What Would Bane Do?

You are not imagining it. The years really are getting shorter. Not on any clock, not on any calendar — but inside the three pounds of tissue between your ears, something has changed. The summers that once stretched into lazy eternities now collapse into a long weekend. A decade vanishes like a coin in a magician's hand. And the unsettling sense that you are being robbed of time — that life is accelerating toward some finish line you never agreed to approach — is shared by nearly everyone who has lived long enough to notice it.
