important thing
is to not stop
questioning"

why
einstein said,“Life is like riding a bicycle, we achieve balance through motion.” Got us thinking, if this genius was correct we should all feel completely at peace with our lives because we spend all our time moving! Let’s face it...we do, we move, we run, we schlep, we consume, we schedule, we overschedule. We are a society in constant motion. So I ask you this, Why do we all feel so off balance? Did Einstein get it wrong?!
Of course not...he was a genius by any account. So how do we rationalize this paradox? I propose that we simply may have misread one word. MOTION. The motion Einstein was referring to was not physical movement but rather internal movement, ie. spiritual growth, self development, personal progress. Lots of ways we can describe the same thing, moving forward internally. That’s what Einstein meant, the “motion” is the action of getting to know and better ourselves. Asking ourselves the right questions and then actually enjoying the process of uncovering the answers... In fact, we suggest that it is in the stillness and the pondering where the most “motion” occurs and life’s journey becomes steady and harmonious.
And that’s how we came to Question! For us, to question, is life itself. Not the kind of questions we are all used to...Why does he drink so much? What is she wearing? Who would let their kids speak like that? No these aren’t the questions we are talking about. These are the easy ones that our ego happily falls back on to avoid the real questions that we aren’t willing to ask. We are speaking about the big questions...Why am I here? What is my purpose? Who do I love? How do I love? What makes me angry? Where am I selfish? When am I the most inspired? We need to ask ourselves all these critical questions every day. We need to never stop asking and never stop pursuing our answers. This is the purpose of life to improve, to grow, to seek. Not for the sake of beating ourselves up either. That’s not going to do anything but fuel our self doubt and negative thinking. Questioning for the genuine and authentic purpose of internal growth, this is the reason we are all here... to better understand ourselves and through this understanding unite with one another in compassion and love.
So...that’s our long winded way of saying we created some really cool stuff that will make you look great on the outside and also inspire you to think about the inside.
At Question, we don’t believe it is an either or...we are supposed to desire nice stuff and in fact enjoy and appreciate our physical gifts! It is the personal transformation of this desire to receive for the self alone into a desire to share it with others that will elevate this world forever!
And, we are gonna start one pair of sweatpants at a time. WHY not?!
