Seeking efficiency urges us to filter things fast. Is this what I need? No? Next. Evaluation is helpful when we know what we are looking for, but when not being careful, we could also miss something important – an opportunity to grow and see things differently.
Practicing a learner’s mentality is a consciousness. Even when we feel that we have learned everything, it puts us in a position where we can see things differently.
Our growth and understanding aren’t a straight line in the forward motion. Going back and forth on the same subject allows us to see gaps and perspectives we never noticed before.
Wherever you are, whatever you do, staying open-minded is a helpful reminder, especially when you think you know everything already. Possibilities can only come through when we are open to them.
