Hello everyone and welcome to my blog at this hour. The weekend is finally coming to an end and the beginning of another working week will start tomorrow. I hope you made optimal use of your weekend and you're ready for the start of a new week? A new week presents us with a new slate to start afresh - no one have ever experienced what the coming week offers. It is an opportunity to make new decisions that you will look back and be grateful that you made in years to come. Well, sit back, relax and enjoy all that I have packaged for your reading pleasure.

In this new week you need to become more open-minded so that you can enjoy the abundance of benefits that it offers for those that practice it diligently. Practicing open-mindedness is not easy but it is worth it. You don't necessarily have to achieve perfection in your quest of practicing open-mindedness but you must at least show some level of improvement on a daily basis.
Let's take a look at some definitions of open-mindedness as defined by Wikipedia and Cambridge dictionary.
According to Wikipedia Open-mindedness is receptiveness to new ideas. Open-mindedness relates to the way in which people approach the views and knowledge of others. Cambridge dictionary also defines open-mindedness as the quality of being willing to consider ideas and opinions that are new or different to your own.
Having defined open-mindedness, take some moment to check yourself if you posses this attribute. Are you always open-minded or narrow-minded? Do you listen or consider other people's opinions or you are fond of not tolerating other people's opinions. If perchance you have not always been open-minded, then it is something you need to work on and you can start from today. First off, you must be intentional about it and this have to do with putting your mind to really achieving it. There are so much benefits attached to considering other options rather than been stuck with the one you have. You must be open to hear what people have to say and take one or two tips from them - with this you will make more progress in life

Furthermore, it may be difficult to practice open-mindedness if you are not willing to learn. When you are open to learning it would be easy for you to listen to people's opinions, embrace their ideas and consider new views that are totally different from what you have been used to. A person who is willing to learn is indirectly admitting to the fact that he or she does not know it all and is willing to learn from other people. This is what open-mindedness is all about. You should ask questions when you are not sure and be willing to change your mind when the need arises instead of sticking to what you have known before.
You have so much to gain when you allow yourself to see one issue in different ways. There are different ways to which you can address a particular issue and when you adopt this method you'd realize that you are able to garner more knowledge. As a new working week starts tomorrow, when you have a task to complete in the office, be open to the ideas and opinions of your colleagues. In the home, don't say your parents, partner or siblings do not know anything - give them listening ears and learn from what they have to say.
