Isn’t this a great time to step back and reflect on what are the big questions that would help us to achieve much greater impact in all parts of our lives?

Hummingbirds come to our capacious feeder, sip for a few seconds, and then leave. But why would they ever leave? Do they have something better to do? If I set a trigger so that every time a hummingbird lands on our feeder, it plays a sound, can I then use that sound to assemble a hummingbird army? I’ll let you know.
