I try to be very open in my life.
I think there are several ways to accomplish this.
I try to be open in my mind and be respectful of new ideas or new opinions.
I try to be open with new people by not judging them by the way they look.
I try to be open with trying new things or traveling to new places.
I try to be open in how I spend my time by going outside and enjoying the great outdoors.
And most recently I'm trying to be open with how I cook by experimenting with new recipes.
I think being open is such a refreshing way to live. It is very easy to get stuck in our ways which can lead to missed opportunities.
I have found that by trying to remain open, I am able to get along with a lot of different types of people, I find out new things about myself and am overall a more well-rounded person.
Love this! There is nothing more annoying than closed-minded people. I used to be (and still sometimes struggle with being) closed-minded and was the biggest scardey cat until one of my friends grandmothers said "when you get to my age you'll wish you had tried more new things...you'll realize there's nothing to be afraid of really." It's hard to be open, but so many great experiences come from it.
ReplyDeleteI still struggle with it too, especially when it comes to trying new things. I tend to shy away from things out of my comfort zone, but I'm always happy when I follow through with it and usually end up enjoying my experience. Thanks for your comment. I loved it.
DeleteI love being open to new things. I've had some great experiences because I've been willing to try things I might not normally want to do. I wish more people were open-minded. The world would be a much better place.
ReplyDeleteIt really would be a much better place if people were more open minded, or at least more tolerant of differences.
DeleteGreat post...and a good reminder to me :)
ReplyDeleteGood! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for your comment, Bev!
