Are we INTERESTED

So. Not that I want this blog to become a boring rambling of all the insights I have on life, but sometimes you just have to get them out! So here's my latest.

Its better to be interested  than interesting. 

Think about this for a second. What kind of people are the ones you want to be around the most?
The ones that CARE. The ones that are interested in YOU. We all have had regular contact with people who are seriously awesome- they are funny, cool, and outgoing. But you don't have a real desire to be around someone unless they have a desire to be around you. Am I right?

And here's the thing. Everyone is interesting. Really. I have never met someone who doesn't have a story, and no one ever will. So honestly, we don't have to worry about that. We don't need to worry about being someone worth meeting, because we already are. We are all interesting. BUT are we interested? 

Are we interested in those around us? Personally, I know I'm not always as thoughtful as I should be. Sometimes we get so caught up in our own interesting lives that we forget to invest our interest in the lives of those around us.

And I believe that we are drawn to interested people more than we are drawn to interesting people.

So instead of spending our time worrying about ourselves and our own self-image, why not spend our time thinking about others. What if when others talked, we actually listened,  instead of thinking of the story we are going to tell next. What if we took the time to really get to know everyone we came in contact with.

What if we focused on being interested instead of interesting. 

So there you go. Kylie's daily insight. Enjoy.
