Don't second-guess what "distracts" you, says actor-producer Yara Shahidi; that's your curiosity coming through. The star of hit shows like "black-ish" and "grown-ish" tells how she learned to spot clues to her own future - and how you can, too.

“…suppressing your own curiosity and realizing that made it so much easier to pick apart every potential decision, instead of taking action”. It is overwhelmingly affirming to hear this. Once I realized what I am most curious about at this point in time, and I let it guide me, I no longer faced the same inexplicable sense of needing to withhold myself to make a thoughtful choice on my future.

I am nearly 60 yo first gen American, upper middle class never married, white woman --seemingly nothing in common… however I can say personally when I’ve allowed my curiousity to lead me, I have always benefitted. When I’ve let societal norms, pressures, and obligations carry me through, while I have learned and benefitted to some degree, I have often been left empty, crushed, and broken. If we societally let curiosity lead every individual, we would be a much healthier and happier society. I applaud you Yara Shahidi!!! May you lead and thrive!!!

00:00 🌍 The speaker reflects on the expansive imagination of childhood and laments the narrowing focus in adulthood, emphasizing the need for imagination in the present world. 1:14 🧠 In today's world, imagination is crucial for envisioning possibilities and addressing challenges; curiosity is highlighted as a key tool for building new realities. 3:30 🎓 The speaker, a Harvard alum with a television show, faced a challenge blending academic and entertainment pursuits but emphasizes the universal struggle of juggling diverse interests. 4:21 🤷‍♂ Societal pressure often pushes individuals towards specialization, limiting exploration of multiple passions, and underestimating the value of curiosity. 6:04 🌐 Suppression of curiosity can lead to a false sense of certainty, hindering decision-making and personal growth; the speaker advocates for embracing curiosity. 8:37 🚀 Curiosity's results are described as "rupture," challenging traditional norms, and emphasizing its potential to shape new possibilities and realities. 10:07 ✨ Historical examples show that leaders of social change often pursued their passions and curiosities outside their designated fields. 10:13 🌈 Curiosity's byproduct is possibility, and the speaker encourages recommitting to curiosity as a way to expand options and build new futures.

I enjoyed watching this so much. The by-product of curiosity is possibilities. Possibilities show up when you let yourself be curious. "What will my life look like if I read so and so book?" "What does it feel like to overcome that fear or addiction?" "Where will my life be in 2, 3, 5,...years if I took that risk" There is so much power in curiosity. It pushes one to look beyond "limitations". This is an amazing talk! 👏🏽

as a pre-med student cornell university with an intended career in medicine, i also have a very strong innate passion for entertainment - modeling, acting, screenwriting, film. 2 industries that are very demanding. i refuse to give up either part for the other. that’s like giving up half of me.

Yara, that’s a great lecture. I used to have a lot of thoughts about my curisoity, but after watching your lecture, I felt that my thoughts were sorted out. I found it very bad to suppress my current curiosity because of my prudence about the future. From this point onwards, I will realize what I am most curious about and explore it very actively!
