Being interested & open

Many people in today’s world seek to make sure people understand them.

Their opinions, their interests, their reasoning, their priorities, their passions.

I’ve found life much more enjoyable when you’re instead focusing on understanding other’s opinions, reasons, stances, and passions.

Then, when you come across something that’s different or intriguing, double checking your own thoughts/ideas against that and being open to changing your mind.

Being flexible, curious, and fluid is much more peaceful and productive than rigid, closed, and stiff.
