The Power of Curiosity

In today’s episode of Creating The Path, I’m talking about how powerful curiosity is and why we should develop it.

This is because curiosity is at the heart of some of the most essential skills, like resilience and problem-solving.

 We all know how essential it is for us to be resilient because it helps us survive setbacks or difficult times coming out stronger, and empowers us to grow from those experiences.

And when it comes to problem-solving, it is a much-needed skill in every area of our life. We always need to find a solution when we encounter a problem whether it’s small or trivial.

So let’s highlight the power of curiosity in this episode.

Noteworthy Quotes:

“We can develop our curiosity and train ourselves to be more curious.”

“Resilience is essential for us to not just survive setbacks or difficult times, but to come back stronger, and to grow from those experiences. That's resilience.”

“Problem-solving is an essential skill because it's needed in every area of our life.”

“When you're in a fixed mindset, you're not likely to be curious, because you're probably just assuming that this is the way things are, and there's no way to change it.”

“Most of us will have a mix of growth and fixed mindsets, in different areas of our life.”

“If you can catch yourself and notice when you have a fixed mindset, or even just noticing when you have a problem that's difficult to solve, then you can bring curiosity to the situation, and start asking questions.”

“Try to understand all the aspects of the problem, brainstorm all the possible solutions you can think of, even the ones that seem silly or stupid.”

“Whenever we aren't sure what to do in our business, we talk about how we need clarity. And if you think about it, that is problem-solving. The problem is we don't know what to do. And clarity is the solution, or at least we think it is.”
