Just for Today, I Will Keep an Open Mind!
The human organism has one remarkable quality – it tends to learn from the past. We always recall our experiences and use them to evaluate similar situations in the future. That is how we learn and grow. But there are times when this very quality becomes a problem! In childhood if you were chased by a ferocious dog, for example, this will be stored in your memory. This will make you believe that all dogs are dangerous. So the next time you approach a dog, you’ll feel fearful. Even if the dog is friendly, your past conditioning will not allow you to accept this fact. That’s how old beliefs get stronger.
When you look at someone really old, you’ll find that it is very difficult for people to change their beliefs, simply because they are so deep rooted. So just for today, you’ll be open to new ideas and look at them objectively. When you receive a suggestion, don’t just discount it right away. Look at it and try and see what the other person is trying to tell you. You may actually end up discovering a very precious treasure!
Keeping your mind open has a spiritual component to it too. It involves looking for coincidences. Basically, no event in your life is a mere coincidence, but it has a deeper meaning to it. So if you have an intuition, display the guts to follow it. Be open to the way events are moving, for they will lead you somewhere. Just for today, you will also not force your way of things – let things move the way they are. Learn to go with flow, rather than trying to go against it, and wanting your way to happen. Accept other ideas, opinions and decisions – it’s just for today!
Remember, a closed mind is like a closed parachute. It is of no use, and a big burden on your back!
Now the choice is yours!
