Welcome back to 21 questions that will change your life.

Question #18 is about avoidance. We avoid things that are good for us. We avoid difficult but necessary conversations. We avoid people who will challenge us to grow. We avoid certain books because we know they will change our lives. We avoid conflict.

Question #18 is… What are you avoiding and how is it hurting you?

We are given the ability to avoid for good reason, because some things and people and situations are dangerous and should be avoided. But we use our ability to avoid in unhealthy ways that prevent us from growing and become an obstacle to happiness.

Today’s question is… What are you avoiding and how is it hurting you?

“It is disturbing that at a time when millions of Catholics are angry and disillusioned with the Church, there has been no significant effort to remind Catholics of who we really are, no strategic effort to raise our morale, no organized effort to remind the world that, for the past two thousand years, wherever you find Catholics, you find a group of people making enormous contributions to the local, national, and international community.” – Rediscover Catholicism
