The Bogus, Fake, Invented Lie -- Curiosity Killed NO Cat!

Ever hear of such a thing; that the timid got what they wanted?

Me neither.

Why is that?

Because they wouldn't be called timid if they asked and got what they wanted!

Seems quite simple, really.

But hold on; what about all of this curiosity killed the cat conversation - doesn't THAT have something to do with being timid, scared, afraid?

Of course it does - if we buy into all that fakery!

Show me one cat who died of being curious.

And, even if it was a cat that died because of asking too many questions (!), what have we humans got to do with all that?

Seems ludicrious doesn't it - buying into all those fables, stories, myths and tales about how being curious, would somehow, mentally, wipe us out.

But, believe it we do and timid we be... UNTIL...

... until we really become CURIOUS about whatever we feel is holding us back or whatever seems missing or, what is not quite right in our lives.

Imagine a world, without electricity. Without... the Internet! Without aeroplanes. Without a mobile phone. Without crappy marketing...

Anything and everything we have in our lives is because of someone being curious enough to ask questions, to create what didn't exist, before.

All our parents asked curious questions - that's how we've arrived on this jolly planet of ours.

Becoming curious, really curious will set YOU apart from all those merely dibbling and dabbling at life. And that's true for whatever area of life we care to investigate.

Whether in your personal life. Your business or career. Your health. Your language. Your attitude... whatever it is, the moment you turn on your curiosity buttons to full effect, your life will have a different vibration. A different feel. A different colour. A different beat and rhythm to it.

And there's one thing that's absolutely clear:
whatever we have in our lives and whatever we've become, is TOTALLY down to the degree and level of curiosity we have about what's going, or, what's NOT going on in our lives!

Want a different life... change the level and depth of your CURIOSITY!

Here's to living curiously exciting lives.

P.S Here's a little curious snippet dug out from The Pourtsmouth Daily Times, March, 1915;

Mother - "Don't ask so many questions, child. Curiosity killed the cat."
Willie -
"What did the cat want to know, Mom?"
