Do you try to keep an open mind?

Question

and let yourself accept each hour as it comes.

Answer 1

Yes, but not so open that all my brains fall out. (A famous skeptic's saying.)

Answer 2

One most days I am so busy that I don't even realize what time it is.

My mind is too full of what's next to come or how do I finish all of this stuff in time.

Answer 3

Yes, I stay open and positive. Nothing is gained from a negative standpoint, so I am an optimist. Also if your mind stays closed - how can you grow? You never know what new experiences will give you wonder and enjoyment unless you are willing to give things outside your comfort zone a try.

Answer 6

Jai, I don't believe one concept depends upon the other.  

For instance, most of my days are planned out for me.  I know what I am going to be doing each hour so that I might prepare and maximize my time.  

However, when it comes to concepts and ideas, I like to consider all possibilities.  I have an open mind when it comes to new thinking.  Because I do not believe that I have all of the answers.  I am not conceited, pompous or pedantic.

So while my hours are planned, I am excited to hear new ideas and methodologies.  That is what makes me interested in attacking each new day that comes my way.

Answer 7

I DO keep an open mind.  This is not something you can try.  Try going to the bath room.  You just do it or you don't.

Answer 8

I always do.

Even when it gets me in trouble and bad thoughts wonder in and out on their own leisure.

Answer 9

Yes. I try to be open-minded the best I can. Because you learn things and see solutions from every aspect and angle.

Answer 10

Yes I always keep a open mind. I think outside the box and accept life as it comes toward me. Any experiences that come forth, I take it as a lesson learned. I always stay with a positive mind, that is how I have became so successful. I will continue to keep a open mind and accomplish all of my goals and help others.
