Cultivate Your Curiosity

I recently came across the following list written/compiled by David Heenan: Ten Keys to Life Fulfillment:
1. Listen to your heart
2. Take one step at a time
3. Deliver daily
4. Maintain a maverick mind-set
5. Focus, focus, focus
6. Never stop learning
7. Build a brain trust (network of knowledgeable people)
8. Reinvent Yourself
9. Sell Yourself
10. Start now!
This is an awesome list. I love it because it’s balanced and has passion and practicality, hard work and faith, hope and focus. . . It’s got almost everything.
All of the items on this list are things I dedicate myself to day after day and things which I strive to bring to my students and clients in each lesson and each seminar.
I am of the opinion that we can have everything that we want. We can both have satisfying work that pays us really well and a happy and fulfilling family life which we have plenty of time to nurture. We can choose to continue to grow and learn new ideas and cultivate our interests at any point in our lives.
The only thing I feel is missing from the above list which I most definitely am a proponent of is, ‘cultivating curiosity’.
A lot of people struggle with stagnation later […]
