Open Minded
Being open minded is like taking a breath of fresh air through your mind. It clears away the dusty old beliefs of yesterday. And here’s the amazing thing about it. All of those beliefs have been taught you by parents, teachers, co-workers, colleagues, friends and family. And although they may have served you well in the past, they may not be serving you today.
LIke for example, have you noticed how experts change their minds about beliefs. Butter is bad for you…eat fat-free margarine. Oops…no we got that wrong, actually fat-free foods may not be so good after all. You see where I’m going! Beliefs are just someone’s opinion based on the information they had at the time. After all, we once believed that the world was flat and if we sailed too far across the sea we would fall off!
So today, be open minded. Say,”yes and….” nstead of “no but…” Build on other peoples ideas and you may be amazed to find that you can be right and other people can be right also. Seatch for win-win situations instead of win-lose. Be a provider of solutions rather than a problem finder. Be an uplifter today and then sit back and appreciate all that life has to offer.
