Stay curious from "summary" of Keep Going by Austin Kleon
One of the most important qualities to cultivate if you want to stay creative is curiosity. Curiosity is what keeps you interested in the world around you. It's what drives you to learn new things, to explore new ideas, and to try new experiences. Without curiosity, life can become dull and routine. But when you stay curious, you open yourself up to a world of possibilities. Being curious means asking questions, seeking out new information, and being open to different perspectives. It means staying hungry for knowledge and always looking for ways to expand your mind. Curiosity can lead you down unexpected paths and introduce you to new passions. It can help you break out of your comfort zone and push yourself to grow. One way to cultivate curiosity is to approach the world with a sense of wonder. Try to see things with fresh eyes, as if you were experiencing them for the first time. Look for the beauty and magic in everyday moments. Pay attention to the small details that often go unnoticed. By approaching the world with wonder, you can spark your curiosity and inspire your creativity. Another way to stay curious is to never stop learning. Read books, take classes, watch documentaries, and listen to podcasts. Seek out information on topics that interest you, but also explore subjects that are completely new to you. Stay open to new ideas and be willing to challenge your beliefs. The more you learn, the more you'll realize how much there is still left to discover. Curiosity is a mindset that can enrich your life and fuel your creativity. By staying curious, you can continue to grow and evolve as a person. Embrace your sense of wonder, never stop learning, and always be open to new experiences. Curiosity is the key to staying engaged with the world around you and to keeping your creative spirit alive. So, stay curious, and see where it takes you.
