Little Life Lesson and Bit of Grace 35: Keep a Curious Mind
"Curiosity is a gift we each can share. Harvesting it is simple: Just be like a child. Wonder, play, pretend, and live in the moment. Then watch with amazement as the world unfolds around you." ~Kara Messinger
The most famous and smartest people in history that have gone on to achieve great things had a very curious mind!
Albert Einstein-clearly curious to sit around and figure out that E=mc2 and the other "over my head" mathematical business.
Michelangelo-Curious! "Why couldn't you paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel? I mean it looks so boring just being white."
Thomas Edison-Thanks for being so curious and inventing the lightbulb
Serget Brin and Larry Page-The Google creators were very curious and thanks to their curiosity for creating the search engine to learn about ANYTHING, they can help fuel our curiosity.
I have a curious child and sometimes it can be exhausting. He must have 1004 questions for a minute detail of a story, movie, why the refrigerator just made that weird noise, or homeless man we passed in the car on the way home from preschool. Even during those times of frustration mixed with exhaustion, I must remember to take a deep breath and see it as an AMAZING mind at work and foster that love for learning and knowing more about how the world works, surroundings, and why things happen.
The list above of famous curious people could go on and on. The moment we stop being curious, the moment we stop learning. So ask questions, think of different perspectives, and look for the hidden beneath the surface answers.
The mind, like the rest of our body needs to be exercised. So, go on...get your curiosity on.
"The important thing is not to stop questioning...Never lose a holy curiosity." ~Albert Einstein
