Takeaways & Reflections | Follow Your Curiosity, Even When Grieving


Listen Later

Curiosity is sorely underestimated. It's not given headlines or attention, but, in my eyes, it's responsible for most inventions. Curiosity has led to some of the world's most significant innovations.

If there weren't people who allowed themselves to be led by their curiosity, we never would've evolved from stick rubbing to flint. Someone, along the way, asked themselves better questions or was open to learning something new.

Grief makes curiosity seem like a luxury. But, what if we took the one thing that helps our society evolve and apply it to our lives at a heart and soul level?

What if you received the idea one day to go to "Google" and search for "grief support" and you do, and you find the one thing that helped you and changed your life?

What if you kept hearing people talk about Reiki and you kept seeing it popping up online or in random places, and you let your curiosity lead you to contact a Reiki Master to explain the whole "Reiki thing" to you. And you take it ten steps further and end up becoming a Reiki Master yourself after never even experiencing a Reiki session yourself? Then, to your surprise, you find that it's the one thing that helps you maintain balance and protect your energy in support of the grief work you're doing.

Yes, intuition plays a role, too; going within and being open to the whispers. But, curiosity is where so many great things begin.

When it comes to grief, maintaining your curiosity could be the very thing that leads you to a life-changing program (as it did for me). Don't shortchange yourself or let fear get in the way.

What message do you want hindsight to say to you in the future?
