Listen to New Ideas

Did you ever have an experience where you allowed yourself to listen to new ideas? Even when it was something we had said? Have you ever found yourself saying, "that was such a difference, I never thought of that", or "wow, that really made me think." You can allow yourself to listen to new ideas.

Well The great ability to be able to change, or to learn something totally new is one of the great pleasures in life.

Sometimes we don't have the opportunity to allow ourselves to listen to new ideas because we're either too busy to write them down or too scared. Or we are worried about what people might think. Or we simply don't have time to research what it is we are learning. Regardless of the cause for not allowing yourself to listen to new information, the reality is that new ideas can help us grow in ways we never thought possible.

Listen, and absorb what is being said. Ideas change rapidly, and so do people. Learn to differentiate between what is important and what is not.

Take advantage of forums, blogs and social media sites to share your ideas. Listen to others and weigh their comments. Listen to new ideas, and then decide if they will be beneficial for your life. If you are able to listen, absorb, and then apply, then you will see significant changes in all aspects of your life. Apply what you learn to your life, and you will be amazed at what you discover.

There are many examples of how allowing yourself to hear new ideas has impacted and improved your life. Take the case of Jon Kay, who was a guest on a popular radio show, and made some controversial comments on the air. After this he received an avalanche of negative feedback and criticism. Instead of allowing this negativity to affect him, he took the feedback and changed his views. He learned that people were angry about something that he had no control over, so instead of allowing it to affect him, he changed his opinion and set a different example.

Listen to the news, and absorb what is being said. No one can stop the news from being news. What is important is that you allow yourself to take in what you hear and absorb it. If you want to feel informed, then you need to allow yourself to hear, and then determine whether or not it is something that you can change your opinion about. If it is, then you should talk about it, and voice your opinion.

Listen to others, and learn from them. The great thing about people is that when you listen to them, you will find out who they are, what they believe, and how they live their lives. Taking in information from others will allow you to make better decisions for yourself, which in turn will allow you to do the same for others.

Change is inevitable. Even when you think you know everything, it is always a good idea to learn something new. Listen to other's ideas, and allow yourself to open up to them. You may have an opinion on something, but it may be different than what another person is thinking. Just because you disagree with someone, does not mean that they are wrong. It simply means that you have a different point of view, and you are willing to listen to each other's points of view.

Some of us just aren't inclined to listen to other people's thoughts unless we personally agree with them. Others though, have no problem at all listening to ideas that they agree with and then using them to better improve themselves. With this in mind, it is important that we allow ourselves to listen to new ideas and then use them to improve our lifestyles, and our lives together.

There is a saying that goes, "The best way to learn from another person's ideas, is to hear them yourself." This is very true and there is nothing wrong with listening. However, if you don't allow yourself to listen to ideas that you don't agree with, then you will never know if they were good for you, or if you would have done anything differently. If you want to learn a lot, then you need to be willing to listen to ideas that you don't agree with, and to use them to better your life.

We can also learn by listening to others. This is why it is always a good idea to read, listen to audio books, and watch videos. By doing this, we are not only allowing ourselves to listen to new ideas, but we are also reading up on the previous ideas and seeing how others have used them to create a better life for themselves. Furthermore, we are also opening up our minds to new ideas and allowing ourselves to see what other people have thought, so we can better ours. If you haven't allowed yourself to listen to new ideas lately, then you should start doing so today!
