"Your ego is always protecting you from potential failure and embarrassment. Curiosity requires a certain amount of bravery"
This is so true, the worst that could happen is hurt our ego, no one is born a genius in everything, and with practice we can learn and with learning bravery builds.
Really enjoyed reading it. I needed this today. Keep them going!
Thank you Aishwarya! When you practice curiosity on a regular basis you'll realize there's so much to learn and your world becomes bigger and your ego & insecurities becomes smaller.
Keep being curious individual that you already are
Brilliant. I liked the coffee shop example where in you reconfirm that if I were asked such question I would not feel bad or unhappy but I would feel happy itself. Then what is stopping us from being curious? Good points you have noted. I have myself been an introvert, curiosity helped me overcome my fears of talking to people. It is an ongoing thing though, you can never be fully curious and then no more curious. :) Every day reminder is essential as else we might just get dragged into routine and judgements some filtered assumptions and thus a spark-less life. Curiosity is indeed a spark. I am happy to take up this every day meet and talk to new person- idea you have suggested.
So inspiring!
