Re-Awaken Your Curiosity
A closed mouth won't get fed and a closed mind won't learn. It's almost impossible to come up with new ideas and grow as a person, if you are not willing to try something new.
At one time, Maya Angela hadn't wrote a single letter, Walter Peyton had never picked up football, Sugar Ray Leonard had never thrown a punch, and Barack Obama had never given a speech.
At some point and time each of these people took a chance to face the unknown. I don't have to tell you their stories, but I am glad that they took their chances.

"What a distressing contrast there is between the radiant intelligence of the child and the feeble mentality of the average adult."
-- Sigmund Freud
Why is this so?
Young children possess what Zen calls ‘beginner’s mind.’ They are awed and fascinated with the wonder of the world, open to discovering and experiencing new things. Anything is possible. Life is a great adventure.
For almost all of us, the systems that ‘educate’ us to be adults stifle our natural joy and curiosity. We lose touch with our innate appreciation of life. We forget how to dream.
The blessing is that with attention, patience and love, we can reawaken our sense of wonder. We can again dance with life.
