I love this photo! I think we can all remember when we were curious children... always asking the question, "Why?" I know I did! I also know that I never want to lose that curiosity and want to continue to question everything.
I wrote a blog years ago regarding curiosity and why I feel it's one of the most important aspects of our evolution. In my opinion, if we don't stay curious, we can fall into accepting what we hear or read about without actually delving into the "meat" of the subject.... the "why is that true?"... "how do they know?"... We just accept blindly and this acceptance keeps us in a comfort zone so to speak.
There’s something deeply human about curiosity. It’s the spark that moves us beyond comfort zones, encouraging us to question, explore, and connect the dots that others may not see. Without curiosity, we’d stay in that safe place of “what’s always been,” never asking what more there could be.
For me, curiosity has been the compass leading me into studying quantum biology, alternative healing modalities, and nutritional wisdom. It’s also what keeps me interested and inspired by new findings in physics and beyond.
When we become curious, we open ourselves to new ways of thinking, of healing, of living. We stop relying on others and instead learn to trust our own observations, our own discernment. Curiosity invites us to take a decentralized approach -- to listen to those people (who may be few) but resonate with truth, rather than following the crowd.
And more importantly, curiosity keeps life vibrant and exciting. It keeps us learning, evolving, and awake to the life that is unfolding all around us.
If there’s one practice I’d encourage you to strengthen, it’s to STAY CURIOUS. Curiosity won’t always give you the “final answer,” but it will always lead you closer to truth, wisdom, and wonder.
