I have grown in living with daily gratitude but I wanting to live each day with deep curiosity as well. Joel: I loved this article, really appeals to me. I want to be Stew. Hi Joel this article really hit home. Sometimes I think I come over too curious. When I am interested in what some people have to say, I think they may start thinking about why I want to know so much about them and then they become wary but I am usually just facinated by them.
On the other hand, I am a hoarder but this causes lots of problems at times ie finding things and overspending. If you ever come to Scotland I sure would like to meet you! Thank you for such a melodic post. It seemed to flow as the most poetic prose that was music to ears that have lost their sensitivity to the simple pleasures. When I was young, I was often remarked to be easily amused, and sometimes the comment came with laughter, and sometimes it came with derision or condescension.
I was blessed to believe it better to marvel at little things, and continued this way for some time. This post helped me to recognize another aspect of myself that has been drummed out and lost. I have been trying to regain my level of gratitude, and perhaps wonder is a factor that I needed to integrate more. I hope that having heard the tune of my youth in your words, I may actively choose to regain what has been missing.
Thank you. I am embracing curiosity as a Life Coach in training. What I found is when I am curious, I have less room for personal thoughts and judgements that create energetic divides between people. I feel much more present in my life and in many ways, closer to myself. Being more curious about why I have certain thoughts, do certain behaviors, and create certain situations has allowed me the space to be more intentional.
Thank you for sharing such an important message. This reminds me of a film Bill Viola made which shows newborn babies at the moment when they start to see and to take in the world. I try to see the world like that as often as I can, as if everything is new. Why in the world would you choose to be easily fascinated? They call it ADHD. It sucks for me. Like a lot. Because while minimizing the feeling of things not going your way is easy because children do that it just causes me to feel numb and chipped away at.
Instead of having happiness regardless of circumstances I get depression regardless of circumstances. When I read the title for some reason I thought it was sarcastic…like the article was about how as a society we are too easily fascinated with things… : What a nice surprise that this article was nothing like that, and instead it was a wonderful, positive, and inspiring read!
Thank you! One point though: I think it is perfectly legit to be selective, in terms of hobbies, passions… and people! Maybe they like stuff you have taken a conscious decision not to make time for cooking, music, rock climbing, pets, whatever.
Word of mouth is how my wife and I got into immersive, serious board gaming, for instance :. Hello Joel. I love this post, it resonates deeply with how I view life. Seeing the magnificence of the moment. Thanks for the post. I love step one. If I speak to one more person who is checking their phone as we speak, I think my face will explode. I learned to slow down and grateful when I realized that there is a third part of life that I had missed entirely as I grew up, my spiritual side.
My connection to God. I know that is almost a taboo subject today but it changed the way I felt about life forever. I look back Over my life of 74 years and realize that life is getting shorter and I am blessed to be fascinated with the rest to come.
I know the future is out there. It will not be over when I die. I can only imagine what eternity is going to be like. Joel, thanks for a truly fantastic and important! I think it depends how close to home something is.
For example, Joshua gave explained the connection between contentment and gratitude three years ago when he wrote:. Use authenticity as the foundation of your approach to others, no matter what triggers you use to influence them.
Fascination is not a "point and click" process, and it's not about manipulating people. It's about using your natural talents to captivate others so you can gain and maintain their attention in a crowded space. Fascination also does not involve imitating anyone. Imitation is a fascination killer. We can all agree that the late Robin Williams was a fascinating individual with a strong personal brand.
There are many elements that made him likeable and captivating. The first things that probably come to mind for most of us are his humor, creativity, spontaneity, intelligence, energy, wit and sheer exuberance.
But there's one thing that stands out above all else, and that is how he treated anyone who was in his presence. Chanko retells the experiences of a flight attendant who was serving Williams in first class many years ago. Being respectful of others makes us irresistibly attractive. It's a universal attraction principle. It pays huge dividends in all walks of life.
Just as it's important to know what the fascination magnets are, it's also critical to understand the barriers to fascination. Chief among them is being needy. So do your best to get noticed, craft the most compelling message, hone your skills and offer utmost value, but don't continue banging on the wrong doors. Fascination is about offering your talents to those who appreciate them and want to get more of what you have to offer—it's not about wasting your time on dead ends.
So don't be needy, and don't try to impress. Both are fascination repellents. Being generous is one of the most attractive qualities to have. It means you go the extra mile to give way, way more than what's expected. Because most people prefer to take the short cut, you'll stand out when you give more than what you've contracted for.
The saying is true: It's never crowded along the extra mile. Over-respond to every opportunity that comes your way. Someone once said, "There's no shred of evidence that life is serious.
Adopting a more lighthearted approach to your dealings with all stakeholders is likely to make you more cooperative and trusting.
It's about being good-natured in the face of the many things that can make us lose our grace. There's something very attractive about a person who is affable and genial in a brusque world.
