Dr. Peter Benson questions to ask...

1.  What is your spark? I'm dying to know.

2.  What is it about your spark that fuels you?

3.  When and where is it expressed?  How often?

4.  Who knows your spark?/ Who helps feed your spark?

5.   What gets in the way?

6.  What can I do to help?

7.  How will you use it to make our world a better place?
