You’re curious if you don’t know something, but want to find out.
You’re eager to find out all the answers, leaving nothing to doubt.
You might discover new, unexpected things, on the curiosity trail.
But, if you stay focused and persistent, you will eventually prevail.
There are things that you can do, to be curious during the day.
The first is to listen, and avoid judgement, in every single way.
Ask lots of questions, about topics, that you want to explore.
You will find yourself, more engaged, and happier than before.
You will find yourself more present, in the moment, you take it all in.
You take risks, and are willing to be wrong, for that is not a sin.
You build time for curiosity in your day, this time is just for you.
You feel energized, learning new things, which is much overdue.
You are okay with uncertainty, and not scared by the unknown.
You aren’t afraid to say, “I don’t know” because you are not alone.
If you were hurt in the past, you can learn from it, or run away.
But part of curious living, is about learning from yesterday.

PERSPECTIVE AND IDENTITY
If I see a six, and you see a nine; No perspective, needs a redefine. Perspective, lies in the beholder. Each is found, above the shoulder.
FREE TO LIBERATE
Every American has the liberty to simply choose. Too many give that right up, for too many views. Your choice might not be the same, as my choice. Your choice isn’t better, making me lose my voice.
CENSORING MY VOICE
Don’t silence my voice, if it’s different than you. My opinions are many, they are not just a few. How can I stay quiet, when i was mistreated? The silent, give it permission, to be repeated.
EFFORT ITSELF
Any effort starts with the decision to just try. Effort requires energy, for us to then apply. A decision of effort, starts inside of our brain. The brain’s nueroplasticity, is what we’ll gain.
GET A GRIP ON YOUR GRUDGE
It is a hard feeling, when you hold a grudge. You can’t let go of the past, and won’t budge. All of the future is blurry because of the past. They blur together, as time has then amassed.
THE COLORS WE ALL SEE
You will always see color, and me, will just the same. Our eyesight doesn’t need adjustment, or reframe. Color is something, we all see, with some emotion. The colors we see, set our emotions, into motion.
OPEN YOUR MIND
Everyone has different beliefs, all felt in the heart. First, you have beliefs, they make you fall apart. Untrue beliefs, are confronted from the very start. Understanding your current thinking, plays a part.
PARENTS AS ARTISTS
When your child is born, they are simply a blank slate. They are but a canvas, for your artwork to demonstrate. Artwork, is not a duplication, but an opportunity for art. No formula or directions are given, right from the start.
