    “Visiting a new town is like having a conversation.  Places ask questions of you just as searchingly as you question them.  And, as in any conversation, it helps to listen with an open mind, so you can be led somewhere unexpected.  The more you leave assumptions at home, I’ve found, the better you can hear whatever it is that a destination is trying to say to you.” ~ Pico Iyer

      “There’s an importance of keeping an open mind. The brain is programed to protect us, and that can mean imposing limits on what it thinks we can or should do. Constantly push at those limits, because the brain can be way too cautious.” ~ Chrissie Wellington, A Life Without Limits

        “Confidence, like art, never comes from having all the answers; it comes from being open to all the questions.” ~ Earl Gray Stevens

          “In time, all things work to your advantage when you pursue them with an open heart.”~ Miyomoto Musashi

            “Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.” ~ Albert Einstein

              “He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.” ~ Albert Einstein

                “People generally see what they look for, and hear what they listen for.” ~ Harper Lee

                  “Varietys the very spice of life, that gives it all its flavour.” ~ William Cowper

                    “Be a Columbus to whole new continents and worlds within you, opening new channels, not of trade, but of thought.” ~ Henry David Thoreau

                      ‎”You can learn new things at any time in your life if you’re willing to be a beginner. If you actually learn to like being a beginner, the whole world opens up to you.” ~ Barabra Sher
