The sun sets on another day…
Sunset was beautiful and I was in awe of the stunning colors that were laid out before me. The days are getting shorter but the sunsets are just as beautiful.
I was on a call today with a candidate for a position going through a standard screen and they made a statement that they wanted to always be curious. It immediately reminded me of a modern show where be curious was a central point, and as I thought about it and continued talking to this person I realized that was one of the secrets that should keep us all moving forward.
I know I say too much that we should not whine about our past, pine about our future, but instead define ourselves every day. Perhaps the way to define ourselves most effectively is by being curious. Perhaps we need to look at the world through open eyes as I have said many times and challenge ourselves to see the world in new and exciting ways. It won’t always be easy. There will always be challenges. But in the end curiosity will win out.
I know at least one person reading this will say that curiosity killed the cat, but if they had read the rest of the poem satisfaction brought it back. Curiosity may sometimes be dangerous, but the satisfaction of knowing that we have done more and gone forward will always be worth it.
So as the sun sets on another day, i hope that you are curious and keep looking for answers and even looking for questions. I hope you realize that the world is an amazing place and part of that is because you are in it. Mostly I hope curiosity always wins and allows us to change and grow instead of stagnating. Be yourself and be curious, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and keep living…
