Do You Take Action Based On Intrigue?
Friday 3rd November
Hello everyone 👋
I was thinking earlier this week…
Does the average person pursue something because they're intrigued by it, or because they are scared of not doing it?
Most of us, perhaps unknowingly, are fueled by a looming dread of what might go wrong if we don't take a step forward.
This fear-based motivation, while effective in the short term, can be incredibly draining in the long run. It's like being in a perpetual state of running from a bear - adrenalized, tense, always on edge.
Now, what if I told you there's another way?
Adjust. Follow intrigue.
Imagine being propelled forward not by the shadows of potential failures nipping at your heels, but by the genuine curiosity ahead.
Instead of being driven by potential ‘what ifs’ in a negative sense, it’s the opposite.
This shift in perspective, from fear to fascination, can bring about a profound sense of peace. Something I’ve noticed in myself as I’ve been acting upon this within my business, over the past few weeks.
Sounds refreshing, doesn't it?
Choose to be led by intrigue in life. I believe it’s something we’re born with and as time goes on, life sort of draws it out of us.
Seek out what fascinates you, what lights that internal fire.
Stay curious,
C
