Open-Mindedness Opens Our World to How Others View Their World

When you’re young, you think you’re invincible.

This had led many of us to pursue things that we would prefer not to look back on by the time we reach out the mid-thirties or, better yet, when there are more wrinkles on our faces, our knees are creaking, our bodies are more capable of sleep and sedentary lifestyle than before.

Swept Up By Media and Unrealistic Ideals

Case in point:

When I was younger, my sole mission was to conquer the world with such a vengeance that the word ‘fear’ or ‘failure’ was subconsciously eradicated from my mind. Nothing, except bugs, insects, spiders, and maybe heights, was out of bounds.

I may have to add that that the bravado led me into some funky swamps and sinking sands. But still…I am, thankfully, still here. It’s amazing.

Now that I am older (and I hope to God, wiser), things have changed so dramatically I sometimes don’t recognize myself.

I didn’t really think becoming a mom was even a remote possibility. I loved children (babies, especially 😍) but it wasn’t something I yearned for.
