Goal #1 for 2017-Be Curious
Curiosity is tied to intelligence and health in body, mind, and soul in
multiple ways. Remember when you were a kid and you drove your parents
or your grandparents nuts with all the questions? You had to ask those
questions as you developed as a person in order to know how to get by
in this world. What happens as we age is most of us lose that
childlike quality of wanting to know “why?” Sometimes we just aren’t
paying attention or other times we just aren’t interested. It could
also be that we don’t want to come off as being dumb or uneducated. No
ones knows about everything so the first thing I want to encourage you
to do is to start asking “why” and “how” questions. After doing so
hopefully you will comment about some of your experiences so all of us
can learn from it.
Being a curious person means that you have a thirst for knowledge and a
desire to explore subjects and places that may be foreign to you.
Delving deeper into your faith life, learning a new language, starting a
garden, finding out about the planets or the stars, or learning just
about anything out of your comfort zone will help your life grow and
prosper. Curious people tend to have better and more intense
relationships with others as well. As an example there are many
studies that show how studying anything new will help you prepare for a
test, no matter what the subject. Click here or here if you are interested in learning more.
Out of the “8 Goals To Live By In 2017” my first is to encourage you to
learn something new. If it frightens you to do so then that’s probably a
good thing. The main thing is that you step out of your routine and
learn about a new subject, start a new hobby, travel to that far-away
place you’ve always dreamed about, or write that book you’ve always
said you would write.
Next time I will be sharing how generosity is one of the keys to happiness in 2017 and beyond!
“Do
not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the
renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what
God’s will is–his good, pleasing and perfect will.“
Romans 12:2
