A speaker challenges you to question beliefs you inherited from family, religion, and social media without examining them. Being open to being wrong expands what you can learn and who you can become. Breaking routines, changing your route, your clothes, your friends, keeps you encountering new ideas.
When is the last time you argued with someone and they convinced you for their position? When is the last time you let go or you learned something and said, oh wow, okay, next time I talk to someone about this topic, I will use your argument? We are all very rigid out of fear. Most of the time we take our conditioning as autopilot. Whatever we were told, whatever we were taught, whatever our parents, the church, the social media, someone has told us, we just take it as a given and then we hold on to it. But life is not so static. Be flexible, be open-minded. You never know when you learn something or see something new. And when you have mind that is more open and flexible, you have more access to information. If you do the same thing all the time, every day, the same route, the same way you dress, the same places you go, the same people you see, you cannot open yourself up to new experiences, to new opportunities, to new information. When you're flexible and open-minded, then you're constantly opened up to new experiences. You're always seeing new things.
