The mind is purposed for discovery, ideas, and vetting all of the “what ifs” we propose. Matters of the brain autonomously keep us alive and are focused on maintaining our comfort and safety. Curiosity fuels our minds. It’s the quality that can open and expand the gray matter of the brain so we can “think outside the box” - minding our matters beyond the brain’s confined parameters.

I often tell my students the brain is just an organ. It’s an important one for sure, but the brain is the only organ our minds can have exceptional influence over, thereby, changing the quality of our lives.
