Be open minded as you tread your path in the world. Contrast is needed for evolution and humanity. Don’t fight against it, stand your ground while accepting and appreciating uniqueness and individuality. Conflict is created by prejudice and assumptions. Be the leader who chooses peace over strife. Danny G.
Open Mindedness
Be open minded to others’ philosophies and beliefs. Everyone has their truth, and yours doesn’t make theirs wrong. They’re simply creating their lives through their beliefs, and you’re creating your life with your beliefs. It’s not about what is right or wrong, it’s simply about which thoughts resonate with your soul. It’s about which thoughts allow you to be the best version of you, and be truly fulfilled. Danny G.
Your Greatest Breakthrough
Even though you may not see a solution, or a means of escape, know source, the ultimate provider, has all the answers you’re looking for, and he knows how to orchestrate it for your greatest good. Your answer lies in not doubting the process, and not giving in to fear. What you think is a hindrance, may actually be what causes your greatest breakthrough. Remain open minded, and know the infinite, limitless universe has everything you need, and he’s aware of all your desires as he steadily works to conspire on your behalf. Danny G.
The Soul Yearns Growth
Be open minded rather than looking at the surface, which seeks merely reason. The soul seeks expansion through knowing itself through the infinite lenses. The soul seeks expansion through exploration, experience, and wisdom. The soul seeks expansion through its spiritual evolution, to know itself freely through the limitless lenses of source, our power, calling and purpose. Danny G.
Allowing the Infinite Intelligence
Open your eyes and see there are many roads to Rome, and many ways to heal, and grow. There is so much contrast, with so many voices trying to pull you one way. Each voice is vying for your attention, as you chart your course. Perception can always change, when you allow the divine to unleash the infinite intelligence. Danny G.
The Ideal Time
For every season that ends, there’s a realization you won’t walk through this same door again. If you stay focused on this closed chapter, you may not see all the other possibilities. They’re waiting for you if you simply let go and embrace the new opportunities destined to be. Keep an open mind, and know everything comes at the ideal time. Danny G.
Acceptance
Why do we prejudge an individual based on outward appearance? We observe someone who is socially awkward or unique in one way or a homeless man, and immediately we prejudge them without even recognizing we do so. We think we know who they are with a quick observation or conversation. Can we truly know someone based on first impressions?
Can you determine the history of an individual based on first impressions? Can you determine an individual’s problems and insecurities based on first impressions? Can you determine arrogance by simply observing, or can you read between the lines and figure out shyness?
Some of us are intuitive and better at reading people or situations, however, we cannot know someone from a simple observation or conversation. If you knew the story behind the demeanour, or attitude, would you still judge?
In other words, would you mock or insult an individual’s awkwardness, if you knew he had traumatic brain damage or a serious brain disease? Would you mock or insult an individual because of his shuffling walk if you knew he suffered from a serious debilitating condition?
Most people wouldn’t be so cruel if they understood the origin of the problem and the traumatic condition. That is called compassion. The reason you understand and feel compassion towards your loved ones, is because you know their story. Everyone else has a story, you’re simply looking at the surface and not at the root of the identity.
Let’s say you had a loved one who had become bitter and resentful towards others, however, you understood him and witnessed his caring personality. You knew his demeanour was the result of being severely mistreated and you knew he had all types of tribulations in his life. Would you still see him as a good-hearted individual, because you understand the reason for his demeanour? Think of a bystander who doesn’t know him personally, but recognizes his bitter personality. Can we agree that most bystanders under these circumstances would prejudge?
Every person you meet has a reason for who they are today. We may not understand them, but if we can understand our loved ones, we can make an effort to understand every other person as well. Using our past or challenges to be bitter or cruel shouldn’t be an excuse, however, we should acknowledge the fact that some people aren’t as fortunate as us.
We look at others and contemplate in our minds whether we should give them any of our time. If our favourite musician or favourite actor was in front of us, we’d give them our undivided attention. What if a homeless man was standing before us? Who needs acceptance and appreciation more than the other, the well-known musician or the homeless man?
We tell ourselves, the homeless man probably made some poor choices, so that gives us a reason to ignore them or be arrogant with them. Is there a wealthy man in the world who is perfect with no flaws?
Everyone is struggling with something, for some people it’s paying their bills on times, for others, it’s greed and deception. Is one weakness greater than the other? We’re all in the game of life trying to figure things out. Some of us are on the streets trying to find a job while others have the most prestigious jobs, but got there through deceiving people.
Let’s not prejudge others by putting ourselves on a pedestal of better or worse. Is life a competition? As long as life is a competition, there will always be a loser, hence there will always be someone left behind.
We are all one and we all come from the same source, which created the universe. Whatever you do for one person, you just helped everyone who is connected to that individual, as we are all interconnected in one way or another.
Let’s remove the labels and remember the most recognized scripture, “Love your brothers and sisters as you love yourself.” A person shouldn’t receive special treatment because of his or her appearance or wealth. If they get special treatment, it should be because they are good-hearted people. Anything else is not recognizing what truly matters in life.
Rather than reacting to our preconceived notions, let’s create a world where acceptance is determined by a person’s values, kind nature and needs, not physical attributes that are irrelevant to who we are.
