Fostering an Open Mind

In order to create an authentic life, one of the best places to start is to develop an open mind.

Authenticity best flourishes when we choose to experience the world as a whole; from a variety of different perspectives. When our thinking is rigid, we impose limitations upon ourselves that don't allow for much growth. It places us in one particular way of thinking and a a result one particular way of viewing the world. This stops us from being able to experience things or interacting with people who may not fit the rules.... the rules that we adhere to - and that, in turn, stops us from revealing our authentic selves.

That's why we want to challenge ourselves every day to view each situation from as many viewpoints as we can. Having an open mind allows us to welcome personal growth, take constructive criticism, and find wisdom in each experience.
