People are often curious and even though it is something that we don’t often think about, it is important to know what curiosity is.
Do you remember being young and everything around you was something new? You wanted to explore things and ask a lot of questions. Do you remember asking things about everything and wanting to know how life was so full of mysterious?
Do you remember looking at things and feeling like you were surrounded by magical things and wondering what life was really about?
Being curious means that you take time, and you take energy to figure out what something is. It means you are excited and full of wonder about what is going on around you. Being curious is beyond what the mind can tell you and beyond your rules and expectations that you have.
People that are curious seem to have better lives. They go out of their way to explore things and they take the opportunity to connect with things in their life and to do as much as they can.
Everyone is born with some curiosity and that is the point of being little. We see things as magical and we know that the world is full of wonders and we want to know why.
Things change when we get older and we have to work, take care of our families, pay bills, and learn to balance ourselves. It is not easy to be curious when you are busy and when you are doing more and more.
Curiosity is something that allows you to add life to what is going on around you. Being curious is something that helps you to feel awakened and to help you feel that life is full of greatness.
Labeling
One thing that you can do to be more curious is to stop labeling things. A label changes the things around you and causes you to not be as excited. Labels trap us into seeing the world as something normal.
Do not label things because when you do, you miss out on the surprise and you close the door to exciting things around you.
Dropping the label can make things more fun and curious. Figure out what people are because you want to be curious about their lives or their relationships.
Don’t label things that you know about but let everything be new to you. If you do this, you will open yourself up to new possibilities.
Limitations
Stop limiting your feelings and thoughts. Allow yourself to be curious. Feeling bored can help us to be more curious because we can seek out new things.
When you feel bored, go after something new. Say, “I am bored, but…” and then do something fun to change your boredom to focus on something you have never done or seen before.
When you think you are bored, imagine all of the things that you have never seen or experienced and allow your mind to be curious.
Question Everything
Ask questions about everything. Remember when you were a child and you always were asking why? Do this now. Learn to see life as a mystery.
Learn to change the way that you look at things and ask why about everything, even things that you think that you know.
Imagine what life would be like if you become completely fascinated with them. Imagine the different possibilities that your mind and soul could open up when you realize that your curiosity is peeked and that you see the newness in everything.
