Purpose- Our biggest curiosity

• 1.       What Are You Willing to fight for? ...

• What Did Your 8-Year-Old Self Love Do? ...
• What Makes You Forget to Eat? ...
• How Are You Going to Save the World? ...
• If You Knew You Were Going to leave this world One Year from Today, What Would You Do and How Would You Want to be Remember

These are questions I borrowed from ‘happify me’, but they set a tone for my next week’s edition, on Purpose and at the same time introduce an element of curiosity. I will also shed some more light on it in my Instagram live on November 2 @5pm.

I was explaining to my son the concept of six thinking hats and I am sure all of them are being worn by one by someone or the other in this context also. Some would be wearing the white hats to look for facts, others would look forward to it with their yellow hats, some else will just be tired of my ranting laced with a red hat, and a few  adorning a green hat would find a way to make it more appealing and creative. A few of my friends, I am sure in atypical style will be critically analyzing it with their black hats playing the devil’s advocate and me with my blue -hat will ensure that being able to truly provide food for thought for everyone.

So Curious or confused, and that is what the feeling we work with quintessentially, to begin with. Every time I start my weekly issue, I try and answer what this should entail and give it my perspective. With my first blog, I set a tone for the coming week, introducing the subject and inviting people for my first Insta Live. I was very excited and my kids supported me like a rock.

I looked at curiosity as an enabler in my second blog, helping us overcome challenge and fear in our minds. Fear and Curiosity go hand in hand, a phenomenon I realized as part of my Live Chat. The curiosity builds up but questions stop because of fear of judgment but then we look for support and push ourselves.

My experience with expressing with my curiosity has often landed me in trouble. People have been upset. My daughter very innocently asked her friend who had visited along with her mother to our house, “I have only called you. Why did you bring you, mother?”  Her friend complained to her mother and they left immediately after. I wasn’t sure what to tell my daughter, not to ask or ask properly. For me, it was an innocent query, but people choose to get offended that is one reason, social niceties, evades me. A protocol sometimes which dictates common sense that is open to interpretation.

The reason for me picking out purpose was the extent curiosity in my blog about far-reaching curiosity. A sense of purpose gives completion to curiosity. I discussed this along with what stops us from being curious and role of wisdom.

This week was different and difficult. I was curious how much I can push myself. I am travelling and often was working with expectations that I did not know how to keep it. The writing was my saviour in this situation. On the most difficult day s, like today so far, I knew the curiosity of being able to complete on not was giving me a sense of purpose.

Curiosity keeps someone alive and purpose gives them a reason or energy to do so. Let us then together take a plunge into the next week’s edition of Purpose.
