On Pause from Writing
(but not from Creativity & Meditation)

Openness


We don’t need to have an opinion about everything. Let alone fight to protect it. Even current societal norms do not promote actual openness - far too often, they are still fueled by impatience towards those who have different opinions.

On the other hand – being open means accepting unconditionally. It means accepting even the things we may have an urge to disagree with. So sometimes, it’s worth to consciously practice being non-reactive. Or even just shrugging and saying: That’s OK... and moving on.


Most people do not listen with the intent to understand;
they listen with the intent to reply.

― Stephen R. Covey, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
