Humility & Curiosity: The Keys to True Connection

Today I'm thinking about the relationship between humility and curiosity.

• You could put it this way, are you humble enough to be curious?

• Or are you curious enough to be humble?

Whichever way you look at it, both of those features are essential to relationship, whether it's intimate relationship or relationship to your fellow humans out there in the world outside of your intimate relationship. We simply need to drop our certainty that we know and open ourselves up to curiosity if we're going to be in relationship, if we're going to regain the intimacy that we so yearn for in our lives. And I don't mean sexual intimacy, I mean heart-to-heart intimacy, connection with our fellow humans, particularly those that we're close to.

So are you humble enough to be curious? And are you curious enough to be humble?
