They Are Curious People

“Curiosity is the wick in the candle of learning” – Willian Author Ward.Curiosity is an an essential attribute of a mindful person. Curious people go the extra mile to discover the intent of anything and everything around them.Such people are conscious of what they do; using every opportunity to ask questions.

And you can’t make these connections without being curious.For example, a morsel of food for a mindful person becomes a chance to pause and reflect. Curious people feel the smell, taste of everything around them while asking meaningful questions.  .This set of people keep learning new things with the quest to reveal the unknown.Curiosity keeps them ahead in whatever they do, and they get answers to whatever they seek.Do you want to be mindful; how curious are you?

These hindrances will teach you two things: what you need in those moments and the fastest route to start all over again.When a mindful person gets caught in an obstacle, he forgives himself  of the past,  learns from his mistakes, and then starts all over again.Learn to forgive yourself of the past.
