Cookie mogul Wally Amos is fond of quoting the saying, "The mind is
like a parachute. It functions best when opened." When you open your
mind to the possibilities, objectively analyze information and refuse to
allow your personal preferences and biases to influence your judgment,
you will be able to perceive great truths that have been overlooked by
others. A closed mind, though, will cause you to miss out on some of
life’s greatest offerings.
If you find yourself disputing the facts, or if you keep attempting to
revise them to support your beliefs, ask yourself, Why am I so unwilling
to accept this information? Am I being logical, or am I simply allowing
my emotions to cloud my judgment? The worst mistake you may ever make
is trying to persuade yourself to accept a false truth. It is
inappropriate to try to fool others, but when you fool yourself,
disaster is sure to follow.
