How To Have An Open Mind

With an open mind, we can be more receptive to new concepts and ideas, making us more adaptable and flexible. An open mindopen mind is intrinsically linked with critical thinking, and as we develop our skills of reasoning, we will typically develop an open mind at the same time. Even so, there are some specific ways that we can facilitate open thinking.

The world around us is in a constant state of change. Without being open minded, we could easily get left behind. We would be closed to the wonders of modern technology, denying ourselves the convenience and pleasure of things like the internet, digital cameras, readily available entertainment, and effortless communication between towns, cities, and even countries. Being open minded makes life more interesting, more engaging, and more fulfilling.

An Open Mind

Those who are open minded aren’t afraid to reevaluate their current way of thinking. They are open to new information that might change their opinion, and they are accepting of change with reason. Closed minded people find it hard to adapt, which can mean that their lives are more difficult, isolated, and unfulfilling.

There’s no reason why we should simply stop learning, stop thinking, and stop analyzing. If we were to live our lives in the exact same frame of mind as we did one, two, or even ten years ago, then we would be rigid, dull, and unenlightened.

Instead, we must strive to look at things from a different angle. We must embrace the unknown and learn from challenging experiences. We should listen to those around us, even when our opinions differ. Not only should we be intellectually open minded, but we should also seek to become more open on an emotional level. As cultural barriers begin to blur, we will interact with people from vastly different backgrounds and experiences. We must learn all that we can, be willing to share, and can gain a better view of the world.

Open mindedness does not mean that we blindly accept new information as truth. Instead, it means that we may expand our thinking, and challenge what we know and believe. In the process we can eliminate our prejudices, become more outgoing and optimistic, remove the fear of change, and we will be able to apply new knowledge to existing problems and concepts.

We should never stop learning, and we should never restrict our learning because of a closed mind. Open mindedness makes us better people, and it’s something that everybody should strive to achieve.
