And so we begin!

I think something which requires consistent attention is the need to be curious. For many, curiosity is easy, they constantly have the desire to pursue information and there is a snowball effect with ich naturally occurs as the information creates connections and the connections link concepts which makes an individual's knowledge base like something of a modern thesaurus. For people like this, knowledge is a path, not an endpoint.

Now, there are others who may find it difficult to be curious. It may be an effort to open a book or watch a YouTube video because there may be information which is readily available which may either require less thinking or something to which we are accustomed. Yes, creatures of habit, we need to change that. But why?

1) Despite popular belief, curiosity skills the cat. The only cat which dies from curiosity is one who takes a leap into a dogs backyard because they weren't curious enough to know what a dog does in the first place. Curiosity can challenge your brain. It makes you grapple with your reality, create new possibilities in your mind and stimulate innovative thinking.

2) It makes the world new. Have you ever felt that your life is monotonous and that there is nothing to look forward to? Well, then the solution is to explore, using your mind. It produces wonder and it can kickstart your inspiration.

3) It can positively affect you socially. People love hearing stories and exciting ideas, how much more fulfilling would it be if you were the individual to bring it to the table?

So these are just some reasons why it would be useful. So how do we do it? Because it can be difficult to beg started on something which does not come easily.

• Read. Yes, it may be hard, but essentially, what you are doing is training your brain. Training requires consistency and dedication. When you feel tired of reading, read one more paragraph.

• Speak to other people. Feed off of their excitement. This will begin to motivate you and you be challenged and feel a desire to challenge others.            

                                                                     

• Enjoy it. Start with something which inspires you. If nothing inspires you at the moment, check out "People are Awesome" or a Ted talk. Something is bound to grasp you. Move on from there. Keep adding to the collection.

So there you have it. Go forth and be curious, or learn to be.
