Approach each experience with curiosity from "summary" of Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind by Shunryu Suzuki
When we approach each experience with curiosity, we are opening ourselves up to the full richness of life. We are allowing ourselves to see things with fresh eyes, free from preconceived notions or judgments. This sense of curiosity is like a childlike wonder, where everything is new and exciting. It is a way of looking at the world with openness and receptivity. In Zen practice, this sense of curiosity is essential. It is about approaching each moment as if it were the first time we were experiencing it. By doing so, we are able to let go of our attachments to the past and future, and simply be present in the here and now. This is the essence of mindfulness – being fully engaged in the present moment, without being distracted by thoughts or worries. When we approach each experience with curiosity, we are able to see things as they truly are, without the filter of our own desires or expectations. We are able to see the beauty and wonder in even the most mundane of things. This sense of curiosity can help us to cultivate a sense of gratitude and appreciation for the world around us. By approaching each experience with curiosity, we are also cultivating a sense of humility. We are acknowledging that we do not have all the answers, and that there is always more to learn and discover. This sense of humility can help to keep us grounded and open-minded, allowing us to continue to grow and develop as individuals.- Approaching each experience with curiosity is a way of living life to the fullest. It is about embracing the unknown and being open to whatever may come our way. It is a way of approaching life with a sense of wonder and awe, ready to be surprised and delighted by the beauty and mystery of the world.
