Curiosity Solves Life’s Puzzles

When's the last time you seriously asked yourself, “What are my options?”

My guess? It's been a while. And here’s why — we usually assume we don’t have any. Or if we do, we assume none of them will work. So what happens? We stay stuck.

The Gorilla Glue® that keeps people stuck is this thing called “knowing.” We latch on to what we think we know — and that shuts the door to discovery. But you know what opens that door? Not knowing. And the key that unlocks it? A simple question: “What are my options?”

It’s not about having the answer. It's about getting curious enough to explore any answer.

Because when you think there’s only one solution — you’ll miss all the others waiting in the wings. And odds are, that “one” answer will stay just out of reach.

Here’s a little trick to show how this works: Next time you pick up a crossword puzzle, don’t start filling it in right away. Instead, read every single clue first — just read them through. You'll know a few answers right off the bat, and others will completely stump you. That’s okay. Don’t stop and overthink them. Just read through, then begin.

Something really cool happens: While you're working on the ones you do know, the part of your brain that solves puzzles — your “behind-the-scenes” problem solver — is already chipping away at the others.

It’s the same with life. Yeah, life’s puzzles are often more complex than a crossword, but the strategy is the same:

Get curious. Ask, “What are my options?” Then watch what doors open up.

All the best,

John
