The 365 Commitment

Curiosity

Curiosity. Such an interesting concept. A form of thinking which leads us toward exploration, investigation and a desire to learn. If it has an opposite, I suppose it would be fear. The curious versus the fearful. Growth minded versus fixed. It seems curiosity is an attribute or an emotion exhibited that is a highly desirable trait in humans. I suppose curiosity is at the root of entrepreneurship. Curiosity is what causes us to be active, observant, and ultimately makes life exciting.

Can you develop curiosity, or does it just happen?

Not sure. I think you should read diverse things. Ask a lot of questions. Learn something just for the fun of it. Above all stop taking everything that happens around you for granted. Really understand why things are they way they are.
