126. Intention of the Week: "Be Curious, Not Judgmental!" - Walt Whitman This Amazing Life

    • Self-Improvement

Hi my name is Ryan and welcome to the show! This Amazing Life encourages and inspires YOU, the listener, to take action so that you can LIVE, LOVE, and LEAD your own AMAZING LIFE!

Every week, I offer a new “Intention of the Week!” A tool, a mantra, or a guideline for you to use throughout your week on your own path to success.

This week’s Intention of the Week is "Be Curious, Not Judgmental!"

This one is attributed as a Walt Whitman quote that Nina and I were introduced to recently by one of our new favorite tv shows, Ted Lasso (HIGHLY recommend it). 

In the episode, Ted has a hero moment and explains to the guy he's competing against that all his life he was an underdog and felt like people were looking down on him and judging him until he had a realization after reading this quote.

He realized that people looking down on him or thinking that he wasn't good enough wasn't an actual reflection of who he was as a person but rather a side effect of the other person's shortcomings. 

The idea stuck in my head. What if the world, as a whole, would be more curious than judgmental? What if instead of making snap decisions, predictions, or evaluations, people just wanted to learn about each other. Or what if we were more curious about our own lives and breaking through our perceived limitations than beating ourselves up and thinking we're not good enough?

This IOTW I think can be applied to three major areas. We'll talk about that and more in this week's episode!

Thank you so much for choosing to listen to the show. Please consider subscribing, leaving a review, or sharing with a friend!
