Wonder Vs. Curiosity

Reality is the best teacher.

Wonder is an open-minded and open-hearted look. It is a gaze that is vulnerable to the truth, and it is the appropriate response to the complexity of life and nature. Holding yourself in wonder is a foundation of healthy self-improvement.

"If I just felt bad enough, I wouldn't do this anymore." Can you relate to this thought? This mindset can hold us in a place of self-condemnation, beating ourselves up. We might think we can force ourselves to do good. We try to leverage negative feelings to control our lives. It is an act of self-bullying. "I can control myself if I feel bad enough."
