Holding on Too Tightly
Something I've been highly aware of lately is that we as humans can have a tendency to hold on to our opinions, notions or doctrines – whatever they are, so tightly that we refuse to acknowledge that other viewpoints are reasonable or valid.
Being open to hearing other sides, being flexible and adaptable, willing to change our perspective and sometimes our mind when life presents us a positive alternative makes us better as human beings. We don't have to think in the same way, or the same things we thought last year or even last month.
Unwilling to shift our mindset is a way of staying stuck, never evolving in our perspective or exploring something new. Remaining in the same space and preserving the same beliefs causes us to sometimes recreate the same scenarios over and over in our life. If we never or rarely try reaching for something beyond what is comfortable how can we make progress? How can we allow life to surprise us with the things we didn't know were possible or could not have imagined? How can we unfold and become greater versions of ourselves?
Don't be afraid of the unknown or what's on the other side of a changed outlook.
