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

People and their PETS.

In the style of Jerry Seinfeld, " What's the deal with people and their pets? Dogs especially. What is the mass human attraction to dogs as pets? What in the minds and soul attracts humans to caring for, paying, walking and being an owner for these animals? Please help me understand . I mean, in my humble opinion, the negatives for dogs are, they can't talk with humans. A dog will never be able to speak and converse with their owner. Also they must constantly be cared for, bathed, walked, fed, leashed, cleaned up after and more. What joy do these dogs and animals bring? In addition dogs cause destruction to real estate, & are tough to constantly care for. They also smell and are not universally loved or accepted by guests. Am I not being OPEN MINDFUL to dogs and pets? If so please share their positives for me. I am not perfect, and can recognize mistakes and being wrong. Some perhaps better alternatives to dogs, are, ready, friends, girlfriends, significant o

How are we ENTERTAINED?

DO you like to be entertained? IF your human, most people do and enjoy laughter, muses, lights and more. Just like the Kings and Jesters of yesteryear, in the modern age, we love ENTERTAINMENT too! Are you OPEN MINDFUL to different forms on entertainment? Which are your favorites? For example, off of the top of my head, I can think of books, live music, movies, television, broadway shows, bars & nightclubs, restaurants, stores, shopping malls, stand up comics, vacations, social media, friends, and the such. Am I leaving your favorite form out? Personally, I am open minded to various forms of entertainment. I love tv, live music, and nightlife. Yet, as the entertainment field changes and morphs, could be up for anything fresh? What are your favorite forms? Do you abstain from entertainment? Could this even be possible? In so as fas as an industry, would ENTERTAINMENT be fun to work in? Recently a fellow local Austinite, mentioned, I should try out ACTING for a year. It wa
