Futurist Jim CarrollDaily Inspiration: "While you might never open many closed minds, be careful to never close your own!" - Futurist  Jim CarrollA closed mind is a dangerous thing.There's a lot of them about.And the fact is, many innovation efforts fail because of all the closed minds that surround any new initiative. It's often said that the best antidote for a closed mind is an open book, but many refuse to read. It is also said that minds are like parachutes - they only function when they are open Things like this make it extremely difficult for forward-oriented organizations and innovative people to move forward with new ideas.Remember my innovation killer list? "You can't do that, because we've always done it this way!" "It won't work!" "It's doomed to fail!" These phrases and many others are indicative of the closed mind - the inability to change the way things are done, to conceive new ideas, or to accept a different way of thinking.And the problem is, if you are always surrounded by this type of negativity, it can drag you down into a swell of conformity.Don't let that happen. Always keep in mind the characteristics of open-minded people:- they are open to new ideas and opinions and willing to consider them.- they are willing to accept different lifestyles, cultural norms, or day-to-day behaviors- they respect the belief systems and deep values of other people- they know how to take any challenge and turn it into an opportunity- they are sympathetic to other viewpoints- they make sure to take the time to see both sides of every situation.- they are curious, eager to learn, and always exploring new thingsAnd most important, being open-minded involves treating all people with deep respect and dignity for who they are - regardless of who they are.<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/OpenMind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenMind</a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Innovation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Innovation</a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Curiosity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Curiosity</a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Change" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Change</a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Learning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Learning</a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Respect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Respect</a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Growth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Growth</a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Opportunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Opportunity</a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Mindset" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mindset</a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Exploration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Exploration</a>Original post: <a href="https://jimcarroll.com/2024/09/daily-inspiration-innovation-leadership-while-you-might-never-open-many-closed-minds-make-sure-to-never-close-your-open-mind/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://jimcarroll.com/2024/09/daily-inspiration-innovation-leadership-while-you-might-never-open-many-closed-minds-make-sure-to-never-close-your-open-mind/</a>

Luke DornyDo we create monsters out of the things we fail to pay attention to?It seems every philosophy offers an interpretation of how to live. What’s interesting to me is that most involve becoming more observant.<a href="https://typo.social/tags/OpenMind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenMind</a>

Spanks&SnacksThe thing I most badly want people to understand about sex in general, and kink in particular, is that you are ABSOLUTELY ALLOWED to cherry pick. You do NOT need to buy into a whole concept, you can take exactly those elements you like about something and only do those. What you do doesn't neatly have to fit into an established category that has a name to be valid. What turns you on doesn't need to be consistent with anything, it just needs to turn you on. There are very few rules and limitations besides consent.<a href="https://kinky.business/tags/kink" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kink</a> <a href="https://kinky.business/tags/sex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sex</a> <a href="https://kinky.business/tags/OpenMind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenMind</a>
