Curiosity

Recently, while talking to someone, he asked me what I like about myself.

The answer I gave was somewhat automatic and for some time now, in the mornings I have taken some time to look inward. This self-evaluation is so important that now I never want to stop doing it, I found that it is my method to implement what my soul asks me to change, fix, eliminate or achieve, or simply to understand in a more objective way the behaviors of the people around me: Understanding.


Today I want to answer that question again. My curiosity. I love my curiosity. It has taken me down fascinating paths!! good, bad, difficult, banal, scary, challenging, painful (necessarily painful) and among many others, happy.


That feeling of wanting more... of not wanting to stop with what I already have (I'm not talking about material things) in my hands, of wanting to further enrich my intellect, my knowledge... is insatiable. The mind has unlimited potential. UNLIMITED. So why limit it to what I already know? There are so many things I don't know, so many languages ​​I don't speak, so many instruments I don't play, so many countries I've never seen, so many fascinating cultures on this planet, science advances every minute and I don't realize it!


I have always been fascinated by the human mind, because it thinks what it thinks, how the mind adjusts to a comfort zone and stays there... as if in a vegetative state. "I wake up early, I take a bath, I get dressed, I go to work, I do an activity for hours, I come back tired, I watch a movie or listen to music, I talk about the day with my partner and go to sleep."

Do we really think that's living? We get old and our hair falls out, our bodies deteriorate over the years, illnesses finally catch up with us, sex is no longer interesting and we discover that we had a boring life and wasted year after year.


What's up with all that unlimited potential??

Why do we forget the pleasure of knowledge? to know? to learn? the adventure of undertaking? And please, don't end the sentence with starting a business. I'm talking about entrepreneurship in THE BEING.


Yes. I'm curious.

I get bored easily, maybe that's why I quickly abandon projects or relationships. Because they stop nourishing me, surprising me, I stop admiring. It is true that consistency is important for success, of course it is!!! The difference is exactly in that: The objective.


If my goal is to be constantly learning.... I will be the most constant woman in the galaxy and regardless of the obstacles or difficulties, I will continue walking forward. But where there is nothing new to discover, where everything is already served, where nothing gives me the opportunity to know more, to grow more, where there is no something that catches me, where everything is predictable in work or personal matters... I die.


I'm not saying that the way I analyze my life and the decisions I make are the right ones. Each human being has their own judgment about what is useful or not, each person is the owner of THEIR truth and each person decides what is their best way to walk, for this Witch, this is my walk. If I walk accompanied and my walk nourishes both... let's walk together. If I walk with myself, I will never be alone.
