The Most Expensive Thing You Can Own Is A Closed Mind — Unknown
A closed mind says no to the moves that are going to provide scary, big transformations.
A closed mind says no to the things they’ve said no to before.
A closed mind continues in their cycle of comfort, never seeing the possibilities that are in store for them if they choose to say yes.
A closed mind walks in large circles locked within a prison of aging thoughts, confused as to why a new answer isn’t coming.
A closed mind is egotistical enough to believe that their biggest blocks are truths rather than beliefs that they’ve let ferment.
When you have a closed mind, you cost yourself the immense opportunity to evolve into a you that’s different from the person you’ve always been.

Putting a product out there that’s showing off your best work is a form of opening up.
Selling your heart out for Q1 sales without being self-conscious of what will people think is a form of opening up.
Admitting that you can’t do this alone and reaching out for help is a form of opening up.
Letting go of control over how it should be and making the hard decisions, no matter how bad it feels is a form of opening up.
