If you say that someone lives life to the full, generally, what you’re trying to say is that they are gaining as much as possible from life by always being busy and trying new activities. This is, of course, the standard explanation for curiosity, but by keeping busy, we are in fact, missing what is important in life.
We should always strive hard to discover new things by being curious and open to change because this is how we grow in mind, body, and spirit. Are there ways to encourage and cultivate more curiosity in our lives beyond keeping busy? We should always be curious and hungry for new information about the world around us, but my advice is to spend more time being curious about your own inner world first.
Curiosity Didn’t Kill The Cat
Being curious invites the truth to open our hearts to see our true selves through love and light, not judgemental, inherited, one-dimensional thinking.
Being curious works not only in our spiritual inner work but at all intersections with others and the world.
Curiosity to me today is having a strong desire to learn or know something new about myself. When I am curious, I often don’t “need” the information I am inquiring about; I seek answers to my questions for the sake of gaining more knowledge. I think of curiosity as an emotion because it is manifested in feelings and can sustain my motivation to act in a certain way.
Transform Your Life Or Risk Staying Stagnant
It’s not always easy to be comfortable with what you discover about yourself; for that take career classes. It’s more tempting to hide away and much easier to remain small-minded than to face the search for greater knowledge. Think back to being a child; curiosity is something we all had naturally from a very young age. Everything we did was guided by an instinctive desire to seek out new information, new experiences, and new sensations, but as we become more controlled, our curiosity started to get discouraged, so we can be brought into line with how society expects a child, teenager, adult to behave.
The Danger Of Accepting Things The Way They Are
Some of us will remain curious throughout our lives, but for most of us, having to grow up means learning to accept things the way they are, concluding nothing can ever change.
Eventually, we begin to accept that answering questions about our authentic lives becomes more important than questioning why we do what we do automatically, often without thought.
Curiosity and questioning our thinking patterns invite us to step outside of ourselves to break our assumptions and see who we really are behind the inherited lives we were handed. If we can awaken curiosity in ourselves and then in others, the impact this would have on the bigger world would grow exponentially.
Never Stop Asking Questions
The important thing I have learned through living my own life to the full is to never stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing and for me, it opens my mind to new interpretations and insights, keeping me humble as I witness what others are doing and appreciate it.
Intellectually humble individuals are aware of the limits of their knowledge and are always open to revising their beliefs by considering new evidence. I once believed I was invincible until I encountered near death. Today, I know for sure I am not invincible, so I am living my life to the fullest in the moment, the present, and it is a true gift.
