The overwhelming urge in times like this is to be conservative, to protect, to dig in and make sure life goes on the same way.
The safe route holds the biggest risk.
Curiosity in everything, in anything is where excitement lives.
Curiosity is hope for the better.
Curiosity is where inspiration and progress both live.
The works seems to want to steer me away from curiosity these days. Into the living room, safely in front of the tv.
Eating in the same place, eating the same things.
Once upon a time I did a kolbe personality test.
I am a starter. I thrive in the new, the different.
I am not good at finishing, I love to start and hand over. I never present the same lecture twice.
I have stone in my office at work. It sits on my desk.
It is plain old slate, nothing remarkable, but if you turn it over it has a seam of gold running through it.
It's not real gold (I don't think), in my mind it's fools gold.
It represents 2 things to me.
Sometimes, to find something beautiful and wonderful you have to look.
Not all that glitters is gold.
The stone is one of my most prized possessions and I found it in my garden one day, being curious.
I think i was inspired to find my stone by Charles Handy's white stone
To create a life where curiosity is standard for me and my children that would be something.
To embrace the journey of try, fail, learn and try again and forget the destination.
Curiosity provokes situations that create wonderful memories and memory creation is where joy lives (for me at least)
