Be Vulnerable
By opening your mind to other opinions and interpretations, you’re basically admitting that you’re not always right, and if you’re one of those people who hates admitting when you’re wrong, this might be tough for you. As explained in an article for Forbes.com, “one of the scariest (and greatest) things about seeing the world through an open mind is that you make yourself vulnerable. In agreeing to have an open-minded view of the world, you’re also admitting you don’t know it all.” Yes, being vulnerable is scary, but it’s also totally worth it if the outcome is you learn and grow.
