“It is one thing to be skeptical and open. It is quite another to be cynical and closed. Questioning is to be an open art and not used to maintain a shut mind. Enquiry leads us further when it is open and honest enquiry. When it is designed to defeat it is not an asset.
It’s why the Zen master told the disciple student to empty his tea cup before new tea could be poured in. A mind filled defends itself. A mind emptied is open to new possibilities. You want a parachute that is open and you want an open mind to.
Don’t be gullible but don’t be cynical. This takes some doing. It means really listening for listening. It means learning for learning to be better. It means not being defensive but being willing to entertain things we don’t readily understand, appreciate or accept.
Change Your Thoughts And You Transform Your Life
We benefit greatly when we are challenged. If all we do is resist the challenge we learn little and benefit little. Staying open is an art and an exercise. It can become a way of life too. Allow others to be who they are and express what they express and just notice instead of arguing. Get it? Be willing to allow and learn something else. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
