is holding you back.
When you stop insisting on being right, you open the door to more open conversations.
It means you are ready to let go of your biases and are open to opposing views.
Keeping an open mind creates a scope for new perspectives.
For instance, even if you don’t like orthodox opinions, being open to listening to them can help you understand different behavioral patterns and thought processes.
Your approach can be more inclusive when dealing with people from diverse backgrounds and inclinations.
You also develop humility – a valuable trait in personal and professional relationships.
It’s easy to declare your personal bias and shoot down any opposing views with critiques and logical arguments.
But by doing so, you miss the opportunity to gain a greater understanding of and learning from different viewpoints.
This will eventually help you either to be firm with your beliefs or alter them for good because you found something else more apt.
Wisdom is not about believing in something and standing by it no matter what.
It’s accepting that different views exist and for a good reason.
And doing so makes you precious.
