According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, Interest is a feeling that accompanies or causes special attention to something or someone. Interest is usually prompted when we know we are safe, novel, and mysterious.
Interest is a positive emotion that can help us to explore. When we explore, we delve deep and look for answers. We humans can have more than one interest. For instance, a lawyer can also be passionate about playing a musical instrument.
Albert Einstein played the violin anytime he was stuck on a physics problem. We can combine our interests to build a personal identity that differentiates us from the crowd. It can facilitate our unusual career niche, making it easier to brand and market ourselves.
The outcome we get out of interest is that we can gain knowledge and energy for what we plan to do with little or no stress.
