Liberating and harnessing the art of self-expression.

Be Curious.

Creativity | August 10th, 2008 by Carrie McCarthy

If knowledge is power, than curiosity is the muscle.

Focus is a fabulous force. Tho’ sometimes, it’s good to blur the lines and depart from your expertise, your skill set and what you think you know so well. Many a great discovery has come from accidental encounters and seemingly unrelated interests.

THIS WEEK: Pick 3 subjects that you have no interest in whatsoever or that you’re actually slightly adverse to. Do it right now. Say… Knitting, military history, extraterrestrial intelligence, extreme sports, pop art. Now, do a quick internet search on each area. Be curious when you enter each new world. Don’t leave until you’ve learned something that you didn’t know before.

And then ask yourself:

What does learning feel like?>
