Jessica's Ten Steps to Being Interesting

Jessica Hagy has once again made some simple and interesting points in her Forbes article. this week. I am going to try to do justice to her brilliance by commenting on a couple each post for the next few days.

1.Go exploring.
Explore ideas, places, and opinions. The inside of the echo chamber is where all the boring people hang out.




The power of curiosity can save your mind, your life, the world. Seek out contrarians, disruptives, and those who see the world differently from you. Open a book that doesn't look interesting, watch a piece of documentary propaganda that may not be your cup of tea, get outside an watch wildlife being wild. Plan one activity (15 minutes or longer)each day for the next 3days that not only gets you out of your box but takes you far enough away from the sides that you feel a biy uneasy. Share here what you discover about the world, your community and yourself. Which leads us to;
2. Share what you discover.
And be generous when you do. Not everybody went exploring with you. Let them live vicariously through your adventures




You can know you are interesting and remarkable but unless you let a glimmer out - who else will know? Take 5 minutes to gather your thoughts (no more than 5 minutes) and then post on Facebook, tweet, blog or better yet go for coffee with a friend and tell them a story about your experience. Maybe begin with " I don't know if this really happened but I know it is true".

You are remarkable ~ let the world know!
