Experience it
Instead of being concerned with fitting every new experience
into a preconceived category, put your energy into living
the experience itself. Instead of using your thoughts to
place a judgment on each thing that comes your way, put your
energy into being more fully aware of it all.
How many things do you miss completely because you think you
already know what you're looking at? How many new concepts
do you fail to grasp because you're trying to fit them into
concepts you already have?
If your life seems to be stuck in one place, the most likely
reason is that your thoughts are preventing anything new
from coming into your awareness. Relax your need to judge
and to analyze, and you'll glimpse the abundant richness
that is always available to you.
Let go of the need to know it all, and you'll begin to
experience more and more. Move beyond the desire to always
prove that you're right, and your eyes will open to profound
truths.
What has it ever gained anyone to be cynical and closed
minded? Choose instead to open your mind, to open your eyes
to the astounding, ever-increasing richness of what is.
Let yourself out of the prison that your ego keeps trying to
build. There's a big, beautiful universe right here and now
that's filled with value for you to live.
