Curiosity

There is nothing more sexy than someone who is genuinely curious about the world around them. The people that keep an open mind and listen with the mindset that they can learn something from everyone and everything, even if they disagree, is probably one of the most attractive features in a human being.
As a journalism grad, my innate curiosity propelled me towards an education aimed at teaching me the skills I need to research and learn. At the heart of journalism is the art of asking questions. And only through attentive listening, opening yourself up to be led somewhere you may have never been before, and having your way of thinking challenged or even changed, can you truly say you are a curious being.
But make no mistake - this is not the same thing as being highly suggestible. Ever heard the saying "The man who stands for nothing falls for anything"? At a primal level, curiosity begins within. You need to get curious about yourself. Who are you? What do you think? How do you feel? What do you value? What do you want? It is true that life is not about finding yourself, rather creating yourself, but that creation must begin with whatever it is that sets your soul on fire. Once you know that, then you can truly open yourself up to learning and growing. You will be challenged, and you will face opposition, and you will course correct, but you'll be living a life fueled by curiosity and self awareness.  And that is a beautiful sort of life to live.
