When you approach something for the first time it is helpful for you to have the mindset that is open to new ideas.
Over the course of our lives we acquire many life experiences and so we may feel jaded and forget that we can still learn from others. This attitude can be diminishing and we may miss out on some positive moments in life.
Often we assume we know all we need to and this prevents us from learning from others and life experiences. It may make us inclined to make unfair comparisons and we often suffer for it.
Here's a worthwhile experiment. During your next conversation with a friend or family member, pretend as though you don't know them. Really listen to what they have to say and try not to let history intrude. Take an interest in what they are trying to communicate and you may be surprised by what you learn.
If we are too arrogant and sure we know all we need to about something or someone we do everyone a disservice, especially ourselves. This can make it hard to see people and situations clearly. Try to embrace each moment as new and unique. Resist the urge to compare things to what happened before.
Here's another experiment. The next time you find yourself performing a task you've done numerous times before, try pretending you're doing it for the first time. This may allow you to see things differently and devise new methods.
Think of each moment as special with endless possibilities. Don't forget to embrace the present instead of comparing it to what happened in the past or what you imagined it would be like.
So, try to keep an open mind when you approach life. Don't let previous preconceptions to cloud your thoughts and you may find a new way of being.
