You might be exposed to unfamiliar ideas which may expand your world today. Keeping an open mind and allowing yourself to simply take in the different concepts you encounter may not only help you broaden your ways of thinking but it might also make it easier for you to become more tolerant and understanding of others in general. As you come across new ideas today, instead of analyzing or comparing them against what you think you hold as true, you might try to imagine that they are like a gentle wave, washing over you. As you picture this, you can make it a point to simply view this idea without judgment or criticism and let yourself see that, much like an individual wave in the ocean, it is a larger part of the whole of human existence, and you could find that this lets you appreciate what you learn all the more.

Learning to remain open to ideas without immediately forming an opinion enables us to fully appreciate and embrace thoughts that may be foreign to us. Although we might consider ourselves as tolerant people, it is common for us to view new ideas through the lens of our own prejudices and experience. Just observing these ideas, though, allows us to see the full picture, helping us to recognize the beauty as well as the wisdom that exists in the unknown. Staying open to new ways of thinking will broaden your perspective and make you more understanding of the diversity that exists around you today.
