Are you curious about the world, or just coasting through it?

Active curiosity looks like noticing, questioning, exploring, learning, creating, moving, and engaging with what is right in front of you.

Boredom often shows up when a person has stopped bringing attention and intention to the world. The world is still there, but they are no longer meeting it with interest. They stop noticing. They stop wondering. They begin taking things for granted.

Curiosity is active, boredom is passive.
