Can Your Curiosity Lead to Joyful Abundance?

Keep on learning every day

It’s essential to keep moving, learning, and evolving for as long as you’re here and this world keeps spinning. ― Rasheed Ogunlaru

Lately, I have been studying languages. I love to see where my curiosity takes me. It all started when I decided to start taking French lessons as a part of my daily routine. On my 100-day journey exploring abundance, learning shows up for me every day.

For the last two weeks, I have studied French every afternoon. I am excited to go to the U.K. and France when travel is an option once again. It will feel fantastic to be able to speak French while we are there.

After that, I began to get curious about picking up my Japanese studies once again. I had studied off and on before our trip to Japan in the summer of 2019. I was happy that I did know enough to make my way around a restaurant.

However, I found myself wanting to learn and retain more. I found some audio lessons to study once daily. It is fun to walk around in my garden and learn a language at the same time.

At first, I was not sure if I should study more than one language at a time.

My curiosity and abundance showed me a new way of looking at it. Now I know it is possible to learn lots of things at one time and do it with joy. I am having so much fun!

I can also say I am learning some words through watching Netflix shows as well. Somehow I came upon a Korean show called Start-Up. It is about a group of college-age men and women who start a software company together.

I found the show to be heart-warming, engaging, and delightful. Now, I also know how to say thank you and grandma in Korean. How fun! I know that if I keep watching more, I will learn more.

Why do we put limits on ourselves?

Perhaps we have the idea that we will end up overwhelmed if we try to learn too many things at one time. But I believe that the mind has an infinite capacity to learn.

If we follow our curiosity, there is no limit to what we can accomplish through study.

I am having so much fun learning French, Japanese, and a little bit of Korean. By following the trail of abundance, I am growing as a person.

It will result in developing all kinds of dreams.

My prayer for you is to follow your curiosity! Find ways to learn something new every day. That is the key to abundance. You never know when you will call upon that knowledge.
