Openness to Change and Be Changed
To have an open mind means to be willing to consider, entertain, and even implement new and diverse concepts without prejudice. It means being receptive to a wide variety of viewpoints, information and ideas especially when they do not match your own. Being open-minded doesn’t imply being indecisive, or incapable of thinking for one’s self. What it DOES mean, is an effort to truly make a choice, aware of bias on the topic, you take into consideration various alternatives and arguments.
When considering the meaning of the word “change” as a verb, there are two definitions. The first is to “make or become different” and the second is “take or use another instead of.” Change by our first definition implies an evolution or transformation of something that is already there. By our definition, it means an exchange or substitution for what was there. It can be easy to assume this means that what we currently are, isn’t good enough. We want to challenge that. Consider that we are not implying that what you are now, is in need of change. Rather, a willingness to recognize that there are possibilities for improvement by simply considering perspectives and ideas that we hadn’t previously, may lead to change and may not.
