Summary

This quote suggests that holding steadfast beliefs can limit our perspective and impede our ability to remain open-minded. When we become entrenched in a certain truth or ideology, our focus narrows and we become resistant to considering alternative viewpoints or new information. This closed-mindedness hampers our capacity to learn and grow, as it is only through being receptive to different perspectives that we gain a fuller understanding of the world. By acknowledging the potential limitations of our beliefs and maintaining a willingness to listen and learn, we can remain open to new ideas and experiences.

I am learning to understand rather than immediately judge or to be judged. I cannot blindly follow the crowd and accept their approach. I will not allow myself to indulge in the usual manipulating game of role creation. Fortunately for me, my self-knowledge has transcended that and I have come to understand that life is best to be lived and not to be conceptualized. I am happy because I am growing daily and I am honestly not knowing where the limit lies. To be certain, every day there can be a revelation or a new discovery. I treasure the memory of the past misfortunes. It has added more to my bank of fortitude.

The thought pattern characteristic of the right brain lends

The thought pattern characteristic of the right brain lends itself to the formation of original ideas, insights, discoveries. We might describe it as the kind of thought prevalent in early childhood, when everything is new and everything has meaning. If you have ever walked along a beach and suddenly stopped to pick up a piece of driftwood because it looked to you like a leaping impala or a troll, you know the feeling of pleasure that comes from the sudden recognition of a form. Your Design mind (right brain) has perceived connections and had made a pattern of meaning. It takes logical, rational acts and facts of the world you know, the snippets of your experience, the bits and pieces of your language capabilities, and perceives connections, patterns, and relationships in them.
