Open

When you are closed off to the word, you can not even fathom the joy you are shutting out. You will never truly experience life or discover what it has to offer.

However, when you are open and ready to receive, you uncover a world of possibilities. Traveling the path of understanding and open-mindedness is an adventure all on its own. While there are many things to consider, here are a few times where it really counts:

Relationships – Being stuck in your own bubble is a no no here. When you open your mind and heart to new people or environments your life will be enriched. Break your routine of only dating tall, dark and handsome to discover a flood of personas, some even your perfect match. Connect with the loner in the hall or sit with the shy girl at work, you will be surprised at what happens next. All people have different perspectives and have different life experiences. When you share in this, you not only learn more, but achieve more together.

Your world view – It’s difficult to know what is real these days, with fake news around every corner, what information can we actually trust? There are many reliable sources around the word capturing what is happening in real time. Finding the true answers to your biggest questions = “Should we vaccinate our children?” / “Is the earth flat?” / “Is climate change real?” is really as easy as doing your own research and finding corroborating evidence. Closing your mind off to all the facts for the sake of one article, could be a grave mistake. Many professionals in a variety of fields are collaborating and publishing the real information for all to see. Sometimes the truth is hard to hear, do not fall into the trap of ignoring this to be right.

Cultures/religions – This one is a tough one. When you are set in your belief system or structured culture, it’s scary to venture to anything else. The thing is, the more you know about what is out there, the more you will grow. Connecting with others who are different to you, will broaden your horizons and heighten your knowledge of circumstances. You may uncover true friendship, find a real love in foods you would never other wise have tried or discover wonderful new enriching experiences. Except what you cannot change and show love and support to all. Kindness is a great virtue, why not share it with the world?

Let us all be open to the possibilities and banish our fear and uncertainty. The world awaits!

Till next time…
