Blessed are the curious for they shall have adventures. - Lovelle Drachman

We only keep moving forward by opening doors we've never opened before. It's curiosity that keeps leading us down to new paths.

How could I've know that windsurfing would become my new passion, if I had never give it a shot? I could've taken my surfboard and repeated the very same action over and over again. But I didn't do that. Since a few weeks you can't actually get me out of the water anymore. That is actually new news - BUT: my board's got a sail now, and I totally love that fact.

Personally, I find a lot of pleasure in discovering the new, and I don't have the sensation that this has ever been any different in my life.

According to psychologists "children are born curious":

Children are born scientists. From the first ball they send flying to the ant they watch carry a crumb, children use science's tools - enthusiasm, hypotheses, tests, conclusion-
to uncover the world's mysteries. But somehow students seem to lose what once came naturally. - Jamie Jirout & David Klahr

Blessed are those who enshrine that natural sense of curiosity, aren't they?

Did you know that our heads are round so that thoughts can change direction? There's plenty of space up there, ready to be conquered :-)

An adventure starts with an advent

If you're checking out my blog frequently, then you know how much I love understanding the world by simply analysing the meaning of words.

From a semantic point of view, adventure is composed of two words:

1. ad: Latin preposition "to" / "on"
2. venture: project, risk, speculation

Hence, if we're living an adventure, then we're basically on a risky trip. Now as we all know: every journey starts with the very first step - an advent.

To curious people that's an easy game actually!

Go out on a limb - that’s where the fruit is. Climb all the mountains that call you, no matter what the reason. TAKE A RISK! Then, whether you fail or succeed, take another. - Steve Poizner

Once you got the adventure bug, you'll never want to be one day without it.

Curiosity is like a mental itch, and the only way to scratch it is to seek out new knowledge.

I bet you didn't know that when our curiosity is piqued, our body is even provided with some natural dope?

Well it seems that the best drugs are actually free.

The area of the brain that energizes people to go out and seek rewards is the same when we are curious and it’s when this circuit is activated is when our brains release a chemical called dopamine which gives us a natural high. - scienceofpeople.com

People risk their lives spending infinite amounts of money on dangerous chemical drugs, while the the most efficient one is actually sleeping inside of all of us. We only need to wake it up...

What are you waiting for, steemians?

Remember: Blessed are the curious for they shall have adventures.
