Coaching, reloaded - Coaching question of the day #181. - Curiosity is...

Curiosity killed the cat, they say.
Well, luckily enough, in such a scenario cats still have eight further lives at their disposal, that's it.

Jokes aside, curiosity can be a pretty worrisome topic.
Depending on the context, on the spirit of the time, and on your interlocutor, curiosity is either what makes life interesting and helps people to grow or what can cause any kind of troubles and difficult situations... or get cats killed, at least in old proverbs.

[Do you want to play a game? 
Ask five friends of yours this question
and compare the answers you will get. 
Some answers will surprise you]

Probably both perspectives are right, to some extent.

Each of us can decide what is worth our curiosity and what isn't, and whether or not a little risk is acceptable in doing so.

Cultivating a purposeful and deliberate curiosity could be the real thing, after all.
And with that, cats can have a good night's sleep too.

Coaching question of the day:
"What are you curious about these days?"
