First of all, read Today's Reflection below - it'll take you no more than 90 seconds. Then, you will understand the importance of being open minded!

And, as today progresses, do your level best to see everything with fresh eyes - including your own reflection in the mirror.

It goes without saying, but, until you open your mind, you will never see reality - with all its opportunity - for what it is.

We think we know how the world works. We think we know who we are and what we're capable of. We think we know what we want and we think we know how we can get it. We think we know... but we don't. On the contrary. Our subconscious stored knowledge tells us what we think we know. And, any developmental psychologist worth their salt will tell you that you learned your stored knowledge when you were young and impressionable.

So what you think you know today has precious little to do with what is actually happening today.

So stop thinking that you know. Stop experiencing reality third- or fourth-hand through the prism of what others did to you or for you during your formative years. Stop living a lie - if living is what this normal form of existence could be described as.

Wake up to reality - it's taking place before your very eyes, coming in loud and clear through your ears. But you neither see nor hear because everything's warped by that prism.

How do you wake up? Start paying attention to reality when it doesn't matter so that you can when it does.
