If we were meant to stay in one place, we’d have roots instead of feet

This is just a little bit crazy, but I am in the travel mood at the moment and that is why I have been looking up quite a lot of quotes that deal with the topic of traveling. So, what was today's quote? Let us look it up once again.

"If we were meant to stay in one place, we’d have roots instead of feet."

Of course, this is on the edge, and it is isn't true. But, it can be compared to the quote in which it is said that we have two ears and one mouth for a reason - we are supposed to listen more than we speak. So, if the purpose of two ears and one mouth is to listen more than speak, then the two legs should mean that we are supposed to move around and to use those legs.

Moving around with our legs doesn't just have to do with traveling, but it is in general about the fact that we need to move around, that we need to exercise, that we aren't supposed to sit around all day. No, we are supposed to move. We are supposed to move our bodies.

So many, including me, have roots in front of the computer. We don't want to move away from it, instead, we just want to be stuck in front of the screen in our favorite chair all day long. But, that isn't the way things are supposed to be. In fact, we are supposed to be moving around.

So many injuries and trouble we have today come from the fact that we are sitting too much and not moving and not using our bodies. That is the "sickness" of the west, and something that we need to change.

Start moving around...

You need to remove those roots that make you stuck in one place, or within your house. Maybe COVID has been a perfect gift to you, because you were stuck in your flat and because you were unable to move around. But, now it is time to get out, move your body, and to see new things and to get your body in shape! It is important if you want to live a long life - and hopefully, that is something that you want to do!

So - get rid of those roots, and start moving around!

The strange thing is that those who are curious will normally be the same people who are constantly learning more. The world is interesting to them. They want to learn new things and they want to experience and understand.

What can I do? I don't feel curious at all!

Do you know what you can do if you do not feel curious at all? It is almost the same as with popular TV series or with a popular sport. You might not understand it at once, but if you give it some time and do an effort to understand it and learn more about it, then you will most likely be caught up in the story or in the game, no matter what.

In the same way, when you start to feed those small crumbs of curiousity, it will grow in your life, and suddenly you will find yourself asking questions and looking up the answers and asking for answers.

In other words, you need to feed it and you need to give it an opportunity to grow. And if you first learn something new, why not read an article about it here on Steemit? It is a great opportunity to use your knowledge and to let it grow further!
