How much (if at all) do you care about how others perceive you? Have you always felt this way, or has your attitude about how you're seen by others changed?

What could someone say or do that would make you feel better, or more at peace, or more hopeful? Or what could you do for yourself?

If you had to pick the hardest thing in the world to change, what would you say?

If had to pick one big lesson in your life to learn at an earlier age, what would you say?

If you were to create a retreat, or found a retreat center, what would it be like? Where would you locate it? What would you offer?

If you could bring solace to, or somehow console, one person right now, who would you choose?

What have you found to be the best or easiest way to bring more caring and love into your day-to-day life? How is compassion best nurtured?

Is there anyone in your life who is looking out for you, or watching over you? And who, in turn, are you watching over?

What do you do, or what do you think about, or how do you cope, when you're feeling low? Do you have any special ways of taking care of yourself? Are there people or places you remind yourself of? What suggestions would you have for someone feeling depressed or overwhelmed?
