Passionate Curiosity

Mindset, it’s probably the most powerful tool there is. How do you find the motivation to continue day-in and day-out regardless of circumstances, investing your precious time and energy towards an unforeseeable future?

A few years ago, I became enamored searching for an appropriate combination of adjectives and nouns that best describe my demeanor. Regardless of any daily shortcomings, I wanted to understand this feelings I felt, this motivation that gave me an unshakable tolerance to overcome adversity. This same feeling, seemingly driven by excitement that perpetually refueled itself, known as passion.

I felt privileged to posses this feeling because I didn’t know where it had come from. Was it adopted through observation or a reaction towards a circumstance? Either way, I had a particular level of fervor, a dramatic loyalty towards ideas. A sort of personal hopeless romanticism implemented as emotionally driven logic.

In my pursuit to define the perfect description, it dawned on me. That strong desire to know or learn about it led me straight to the second word, curiosity. So pure, simple and obvious it was - only after the word stared back at me.

Passionate Curiosity, it felt powerful in its simplicity and eternal in its universality. Everyone has something that they are passionately curious about. My next mission is to understand and cultivate it in others.
