Can you Morph with Suggestions?

Are you a rigid person? Stuck in your own ways? Well, don't be.
As each moment and day lies in the balance, let's try to remain OPEN MINDFUL to others' suggestions. Often times your life SUCCESS depends upon it. If people, family, friends, lovers, and co-workers take the actual time to think and give you verbal suggestions, listen!
Digest the suggestion, understand the source and point of view it came from, and if you desire, MORPH to incorporate the suggestion and improve your own life!
What do you think of this idea? Are you able to listen, be open minded, and morph to suggestions? Or, are you closed minded, as an obnoxious "know it all" type?
Do you care enough about others to give your HONEST OPINIONS, and suggestions? You should. It will selfishly enhance your own surrounding environment.
One specific example that comes to mind, was a suggestion my former real estate manager made to me. At the time, I working as a realtor in NYC. Although my heart was in the right place, and I worked really hard, things were not totally clicking. I was doing just okay. My experienced manager, kept scolding me to PAY for my own real estate advertising AND to purchase an iphone with mobile email. I was stubborn, and thought I could use different multiple free channels of advertising & my old cheap phone to produce the same results. After 6 months, I was wrong. I was in debt, and done. Looking back perhaps, maybe, if I had been OPEN MINDFUL to listening and adjusting properly to the thoughtful suggestions, I may have had more prosperous $$$ times.
Another example, came yesterday while playing pick-up basketball in my neighborhood. The other team, was winning. One of the players, although performing adequately, was dribbling the basketball while keeping his down to the pavement. His team mate, made the suggestion to this downward-looking mad dribbler, to dribble with his head up in the air, looking forward. An honest, simple helpful slice of encouragement. The best point guards, assist makers, and players in the game, dribble while looking UP. Yes, the best players look up with the ball, and thus possess a more enhanced COURT AWARENESS. This team mate merely made this SUGGESTION to enhance his comrades play. Time will tell, if the player will be OPEN MINDFUL to the suggestion. For the greater good of the game, I hope so.
Think of SUGGESTIONS, like COMPLIMENTS. People care enough about YOU! yes, YOU, to actually tell you. This should enlighten you..
To close, let's remain OPEN MINDFUL to SUGGESTIONS.

What does being Open Mindful mean to you???

Image
Liberal and Open Minded to me almost seem to be pseudonyms. I would guess it could be possible to be conservative and open minded, just in my eyes those two ideals seem to be juxtaposed. What in my upbringing and brain, elicits this open minded worldly outlook, and positive, friendly mindset??? It could have either been my parental affluent hippie 60's upbringing or perhaps my University Liberal Arts Education, or yet again my 5 full years of daily life in Manhattan and the mecca that is New York City. What does being Liberal and Open Minded mean to you?? Personally I think of it as being accepting of many different lifestyle choices and varieties. For example, I am pro choice and pro abortion for women before the 2nd trimester. I am pro gay marriage, for both male and female sexes. Being a Free Speech & Born here American, I also believe in the freedom of style, culture, home location, choices in dating, restaurants, music, culture, movies, music and all. Anythi

MORALS.... Who is to Judge your Actions?

Image
As we've discussed recently, each person is individually, physically and intellectually unique. What are your personal MORALS? Do you even have them? Should we, are they necessary? Let's not confuse morals with simply following the LAW. It is understood that the USA is a wonderful, prosperous splendid country with a plethora of freedoms. Of course, we are asked and try our best to faithfully follow our country's law and rules. But what about MORALS? Are you OPEN MINDFUL to morality? Whom is to judge what is right and wrong? Personally I would say just follow the Golden Rule. Simply treat others as you would like to be treated, with respect and kindness. Does having morals induce a better life? Often times, the BEST MOMENTS in my life, have occurred while having fun, living life with NO SHAME, and not upholding to a moral compass. For example, whimsical nights of care-free fun, randomness, friends, and newness. I do believe it is immoral to cheat on a spouse or r

With walking it is healthy and a
