Seeking unifying questions

I seek and welcome guidance from the Holy Spirit as I perceive it.  But I also seek unifying questions - useful questions which require no faith in God, but only intellect, concern for others as well as oneself, and kindness. Here are some drafts:
"What that is universal can I bring to this moment?"
"What contribution can I make here and now?"

"What spirit - what shared human experience that is wiser and more compassionate and powerful than I alone - can I bring to this moment?" 

Well, how about that!  It seems to come back to what my mother taught me as a child: 
"Do your best to leave things in at least as good condition as you find them."
