The Power of a Flexible Mind

Openness to new perspectives isn’t just about changing your mind it’s about discovering new parts of yourself.

We never really know where life might take us. We all carry around preconceived ideas, clear pictures in our minds about what we want and what we definitely don’t want. Most of us hold our opinions close, often feeling certain we’ve got it figured out.

But yesterday, I surprised myself. I changed my mind about something I was sure I’d never budge on. And it got me thinking: to genuinely shift our perspective, we have to loosen our grip on old beliefs. The stronger we cling to them, the harder it is to see things any other way. We get stuck.

I’m starting to realise that the real edge the true one percent advantage might just be in stepping back. Instead of doubling down, I’m learning to stay open to new ideas and fresh perspectives. Who knows? Maybe that openness will nudge us even more into alignment with who we really are.
