Be curious.
Opinions are easy.
But they are not without effort.
They take a great deal of effort.
Most opinions spring out of a lifetime of programming, from our family, the TV, politics, the media, religion and habit, habit, HABIT.
But think of this, your lifetime, your life, is very limited, it is one set of influences.
There are around 6 billion other people on planet earth right now, all with their own unique set of influences, experiences and opinions.
Consider that maybe you don’t have all the answers.
Consider that maybe you don’t have all the information or all the possible experience.
Try withholding that opinion and be curious instead.
Cultivate a detached and benign interest in your own emotions and thoughts. Rather than be swept along by the power of your thoughts, opinions, beliefs and emotions, try asking the curious question
“How interesting that I have responded this way, how interesting that this opinion pops up without any apparent effort.”
And try asking the most powerful question of all
“I wonder what else is possible?”
