Dr. Wayne Pernell argues that curiosity drives achievement. Instead of asking how, adopt an "I wonder" mindset that pushes you to explore and act without all the answers. Like training with heavier weights and more reps, curiosity-driven steps break through limits.

The level of achievement is in proportion to the level of curiosity. And you're not, you're not saying, well, how do I do it? You're saying, I wonder what it would be like to do it. People stop themselves with the how. I don't have all the how in place, therefore I guess I can't. And that stops curiosity. It's, I wonder what it would be like to break through this. You know, it's sort of like when you ask us to move from lightweight to middleweight to to heavyweight in our training. It's not, well, how do I pick this thing up? It's like, I wonder what it would be like to do one rep now two, now four, now eight. Right? So it's like, I wonder. It's not a how, it's you just do it. And I wonder what it would feel like to break through. And that's the mindset that, that I think is so powerful in life.
