how to be more curious

Recently I was asked how to be more curious...

Here is what came to my mind...

• First and foremost, it is a choice. If you don't choose to be, you won't be.
• But the funny thing is, once you get over a small hurdle, you want to be more curious. Whether you try new activities, take different routes, or travel, you expose yourself to new experiences, you naturally pique your curiosity as you seek to understand the unfamiliar.

You might read widely, keep an ideas journal, and explore these curiosities further.

Take up a hobby or skill unrelated to your career where you can learn from the beginner's mindset.

Surround yourself with people who are curious. Their curiosity can be contagious.

• Here is the choice you have to make: Stay curious a little longer. When your mind tells you to move to the next thing (like in a boring conversation), just remind yourself to listen and find an aspect that is new to you that you want to explore.

... and ask more questions.

You most likely find something interesting. 🗝
