Being Open to Learning
Any day that I learn something new is a very good day for me, and I have many very good days in my life, especially in my later years. For me, being open to learning is important – the subject matter is almost irrelevant, as is the source of knowledge. Being open to learning means knowing the opportunity to learn can happen anywhere, anytime and from anyone, and often without warning or expectation. In fact, sometimes the stranger or the student can often teach an important lesson.
Being open to new experiences provides the nexus for learning something new, which leads to personal growth and change; and change is always welcome. Without change, we stagnate and life offers no opportunities to move forward and become the best that we can be.
Be open to new opportunities.
Be open to learning.
Be open to change.
Be the best that you can be!

Aha! The subject matter is almost irrelevant, as is the source of knowledge.
Thank you for reminding me!
I think this is true. If I am really open to new experiences, it is a good idea to include all subject matters.
