 '''''A Good Life Lived Truly Free'''<br><br>Curiosity leads to discovery.<br>Discovery sparks new feelings.<br>Feelings inform our learning.<br>Learning feeds our growth.<br>Growing urges creation.<br>Creation provides meaning.<br><br>So Living without Curiosity, Discovery, Emotion, Learning, Growth and Creation may lead to a mundane existence, perhaps devoid of meaning. Perhaps this is when we are most susceptible to manipulation. To believing others' stories as our own.<br><br>Life does not have to be a fight. We can all choose to make our life a never-ending dance. We just need to be curious enough to discover the frequencies around us and learn to surf them together; to grow together; to create together; to live freely, together.<br><br>It all starts with you and I respecting ourself enough to value our existence, without the need for anyone else validating or affirming this for us. You and I are important simply in existing, not because anyone tells us that we are. Not our priests. Not our politicians. Not our teachers. Not our role models. Not even our parents, guardians, caregivers or any other person we trust.<br><br>We value our existence by living our authentic selves, by being, ourselves at all times, and by trusting ourselves before anyone, or anything else. That is how we form a personal identity. One that directly and indirectly impacts our environment, whether we like it or not. Our environment will shape us, but our choices dictate whether we remain static with a fixed mindset, or we self-actualize through a growth mindset. The choice is ours, and ours alone to make.<br><br>We are all teachers. We are all students. Be curious. Stay curious. Don't just observe. Don't be shy. Participate. We all need you to jump in, if we are ever going to figure this out together.''
