New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Do you have a flexible mind? Is your mind open and receptive, or are you closed-minded and reluctant to change? Do you willingly consider new ideas, or do you hold fast to your own die-hard beliefs?
Having strong beliefs is one thing-it's good to be able to stand up for what you believe in and to be confident that your beliefs and choices are good ones. However, if you never put yourself in the position to explore other beliefs and ideas, especially ones counter to your own, then you can never be completely secure in your own beliefs as they stand, because you haven't bothered to evaluate the alternatives. It's like claiming vanilla ice cream is the best without ever having tried a single taste of chocolate. Meditate on how you need to open your mind. Where can you let it bend a little to let in new ideas? |
