What is flexible?
Per Google dictionary, flexible means capable of bending easily without breaking. Just like bending our body parts while doing the exercises. Our flexibility increases as we continue to do the exercise over a period of time.
Today we will be focusing more on the flexibility of mind. How flexible our mind is. The more the mind is flexible, the harder the problems it can solve. How do one make the mind flexible? It is the same way we make out body flexible, just by practicing simple techniques.
Primarily by listening to the opposing views. Suppose, you have formed a decision to buy a small business. You read all the good points and are satisfied to buy the company. We reach a point where we cannot listen anything negative to our prospect. Generally, we don’t like the people who put forward the opposing after we have formed the decision. Therfore, in the long run people start sharing only the views, we want to listen and the one we already know. We feel good to validate. However, by not listening to the downfall and the risks, we are not aware of the other side of the story. We are in the unprepared state. By knowing the risk one can view the picture more clearly and plan out the things accordingly.
Secondly by reading the opposing views, which is way more difficult in the virtual world until one engages in the debate in the forums. The news feed shows us the things we like, share or comment. Not the one we dislike. We have trained our self that way. For instance, if one supports a political party, one won’t even read the good things told by other parties.
It takes courage to listen/read to the ultra opposing views.
Being flexible will open a new dimension of growth and prosperity.
