Curiosity: The Best Gift You Will Ever Give Yourself.

Trust me, it's true! Curiosity is the best gift you will gift yourself! There have been multiple pieces of research that point out that curious people grow and learn much more in life than people who are not curious. Curiosity makes our brain more receptive to learning.

From an evolutionary perspective, curiosity is natural to human beings. We wouldn’t exist if our ancestors didn’t explore and discover new things. For them, curiosity was important for survival. Curious people are actively seeking answers!

Think about it! As a child, you were curious and it helped you discover your surroundings. You explored, you discovered and you learned! But as you grew, you got so involved in mundane activities that the curiosity to explore and learn got lost!

Curiosity is an innate characteristic that has been with us since we were kids, which means you don't need to teach someone how to be curious - they'll just do it on their own!

But don’t worry! In this blog, we will explore ways to become more curious. But before we do that, let’s see how curiosity helps you with personal growth!

Curious people see the world with open eyes. They are constantly interested in exploring and learning about what is on their plate, both literally and figuratively speaking. Those who do not seek to learn more or explore outside of themselves will never grow as a person or reach their full potential!

Curiosity can lead to self-discovery! 

Curiosity has long been known to play an important role in self-discovery because it helps us explore our world more deeply.

I was always curious about learning about event management and what happens behind the scenes. My curiosity about it led me to volunteer at an event and work at the backend. The event was a success! What did I learn about myself? I learned I can actively organize and participate in the event. I had no clue about it. My curiosity helped me identify this skill!

Curiosity allows us to grow as individuals in a way that we would not have been able to otherwise.

Curiosity is the key to self-discovery because it helps us explore our world more deeply and encourages us to ask questions about ourselves as well as ponder over the meanings of things all day long. It can also lead us down unexpected paths too which may surprise even some experts like me!

How Can Curiosity Help With Self Discovery? Three Ways: How, By Encouraging Us To Ask Questions About Our Lives And Ponder Over The Meaning.

Be curious to find meaning in things around you by asking questions with an open mind!

How do we become more curious! 

It’s time to find our lost curiosity! It is absolutely crucial for us to find the treasure that we have so foolishly misplaced.

Read! Read! Read!

We need a way back into learning and exploration, which can be found through reading as much as possible - including social media posts, blogs, articles etc. When you read something new or interesting it opens up your mind not only about what's being discussed but all other aspects of life in general too. It will help you grow personally and professionally with more knowledge on how the world works around you.

You never know, you might get a new business idea by just being curious and gobbling up whatever you can!

Open your mind

One reason why people don't explore new ideas or thoughts is because they feel like their current knowledge suffices for them and that there isn't much left to learn in the world—that it's perfect as-is!

But this way of thinking will limit you from reaching your full potential by not even trying new things with an open heart; only those who are willing to unlearn everything they believe can truly be on top of what’s happening around them today.

To help keep your mind open, be sure to accept other ideas without judgment – even if they contradict things you currently believe. You might find yourself learning something new which will make for an interesting conversation later on down the line too!

The “Why?” Question

If Isaac Newton wasn’t curious about apples falling from the tree, the concept of gravity would have been out of the picture for the next few centuries. His curiosity led to a major scientific discovery and this discovery has formed the basis of so many more concepts.

When you ask questions (or run a google search) you come across so much information about a topic or a concept. And it follows a snowball effect. One idea leads to another and so on! 

So ask the question, even if you think it’s a dumb question. Maybe that dumb question will help you learn something interesting.

Engage in discussions and debates! 

Who said you have to walk on this path alone! Engage in debates, hold discussions with people or normally talk to people who specialize in a particular subject or area!

Think about it! Have you ever found yourself learning about new things, it can be anything, whenever you have had a conversation with someone?

When you engage in discussions and debates, you are often able to view a concept from different perspectives. You can learn about an idea in very objective ways. You see both sides of the coin!

Keep in mind that curiosity doesn't have any limits. You don't need a degree or qualifications beyond just being willing to ask yourself "I wonder why?" Just by exploring one small topic at a time, this journey will lead us all on the path.
