QUESTION: Are you a curious person?

STORY: When I was about ten years old I was playing outside in the backyard and I hurt my knee. I don’t remember how it happened but I do remember coming into the house looking for my mom to help me. But she was not there. I was alone and so I asked myself, “What can I do?” Well, my inner self told me to just sit down and hold my knee and love it. So I went over to my mothers desk, sat in her chair and just held my knee and I was amazed that after about 5 or 10 minutes, my knee felt much better. My life story is shaped by my curiosity. I have always been fascinated with connecting my inner and outer worlds. When something happens in the world around me - if I am paying attention - I ask my inner self “How does this relate to me and what do I need to learn from this?” Do you know that we all have an Inner Self? Yes, your Inner Self is always available. Verify this for yourself by asking yourself a question and calmly listening. Learn more: https://www.drawingtogether.com/workchamber
