The Word for Today is Courosity
filed in Finding Soul on Mar 13, 2007
Greetings
A spiritual teacher of mine once told me to approach my day with courosity. What that means to me is to get up in the morning with fresh and innocent eyes rather than with tired eyes that anticipates what it will see and what the day will be liked because of previous experiences.
I, like you, have a routine to my day. I have usual events that I can count on happening such as a phone call from my daughter, saying hello to the same people at the coffee shop, seeing certain clients etc. We all have consistency and a routine we follow. But approaching my day with courosity means I let go of what to expect and I approach my day as if I have just landing on the planet. With this type of attention, your are living in the moment instead of the past, you are more surrendered to the unknown, and are more likely to see things you would not normally see. You are also more likely to find more adventure in your day as you are open to the unexpected. Try this for a day and see what happens.
