While vacationing with my family at the beach, I learned so much from my two year old as I watched her explore the sand with endless curiosity. I watched her pick up everything she came across on the seashore from broken shells to sea weed and I began to wonder what life would be like if adults lived life with such passionate curiosity; looking carefully and closely at everything that came our way.
A two-year-old’s eyes are unconditionally curious. As an adult this curiosity is often difficult to achieve because of our life experiences, either first or second hand. However, curiosity lives within each of us and has since we were born. Many gifts accompany curiosity and include newness, the unexpected, pleasant surprises, learning, growth, love, friendship, and so on. My challenge for you this week is to allow yourself to approach life with passionate curiosity. I’m sure you’ll be pleasantly surprised at what you’ll find.
