Take an interest in life - develop an enquiring mind

We are so extremely lucky today. We have the Internet. We have libraries. We have bookshops. We have news agencies. TVs. Radios. Newspapers. Almost an unlimited amount of information about an almost unlimited number of topics.

One of my hobbies is an interest in archeology, ancient history, ancient civilisations, Pre-history, biblical archeology - basically anything to do with our past. I can very easily lose a couple of hours cruising relevant sites on the web and especially YouTube. I have many books on archeology and am a regular borrower from our local library.

Another interest that I pursue is our gold mining history in our state of Victoria. Along with this of course comes an interest in all the old railway lines and timber tramways in our mountain areas. We are very lucky as many old railway lines and timber tramways have been preserved either as fully working steam railways or as bike paths or walking tracks. Then there's the ghost towns, or, more accurately, where they used to be (we suffer a lot of bushfires in Australia). Lots of info available on this one too.

UFOs. What a great subject. This interest connects in nicely with the archeology one very easily! At last count I've actually seen four UFOs on different occasions (one sighting corroborated by a witness) - yes! I most definitely believe. What are they? I have my theories - wait for my book, but yes, they are most surely real.

Bodybuilding and health in general. I'll throw in my interest in professional wrestling history from the 1950's, 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's into this category. Again, lots of great information available.

"I'm bored, there's nothing to do" never really happens for me. I can't wait for a spare moment to go check something out. I just adore conspiracy theories too. Don't get me started here - it could be a long night.

Life is just so damn fascinating.

There is too much to learn to ever be bored or disinterested. Just pick a subject and go find out about it. A lot of stuff you learn can be life changing - and always for the better.

Empower yourself - develop an enquiring mind - take an interest in life.
