Day 42 - Openness

Openness is about being available to new experiences, ideas and relationships. Being open can feel unsafe, it can also allow opportunities for growth and change into our lives.

Reflection
  • What, if anything, prevents you from being open to new ideas and new people?
  • What prevents you from openly sharing your ideas and experiences with others?
Action
  • Try to have a conversation with someone who has a different religion, culture or background than you today.
  • Ask them open ended questions about their perspectives on life.
  • Write about what you learned from them.
“Always be open to inspiration. You never know where it may come from. Begin with an open mind, end with an inspired heart.”
Sheri Fink
“Life provides chances to open your heart all the time.”
Amy Leigh Mercree
“When we feel open and connected, we start integrating new ideas and our own wisdom in a way that can transform our lives.”
-Laurie E. Smith
“There's just some magic in truth and honesty and openness.”
