Hope and curiosity share a special connection. Both look at the unknown with a sense of anticipation rather than fear. While hope helps us envision a better future, curiosity helps us check out the pathways that might lead us there.
Curiosity keeps hope honest. It asks the essential questions: How might this work? What haven't we considered? Where else might we look? Who knows more about this than me? Do I know someone who can help?
Without a curios approach hope can become wishfulness that doesn't feel legit. But when paired with genuine curiosity with hope then new ideas feel grounded and real possibilities instead of just wishing or wondering what if?
