Closed minds miss everything #perspective #advice #shorts

If you're open to experiences, if you're open to pursuing ideas that occur to you, if you're open to sort of exploring, then life can unfold in all sorts of unexpected ways. I think, you know, speaking for myself, there were lots of times when I sort of had blinders on. And so I was completely unaware of the diversity of the world out there, about all the different things you could do. And so even this journey I'd been on wasn't sort of directed in the sense that, oh, this is what I'm going to do. It was more being open in the moment. Well, that's interesting. Let's just go. And then discovering after the fact, wow, you went in a different direction than you were planning on. And this is just as true if I think back to my 40-year-old self or my 50-year-old self. You know, I'm 64 right now. I would not have been able to imagine I would be doing what I'm doing now. So it's always kind of, you know, a journey that if you're open to it, that can take you in multiple places.
