Stay Open to Inspiration

To live a God-inspired life, remain open to guidance. Let go of clinging to what you know so that your current understanding can expand. Hold what you know lightly. Stay open to new inspiration and insight.
~Yogacharya Ellen Grace O'Brian

Sometimes the things that we think that we know or opinions that we have hold us back from living a more compassionate, loving life. We are all shaped by our own experiences, but those experiences may not always serve our greater understanding. When we hold what we know lightly we can still use that knowledge and experience if it is useful but we can also learn new things. Open the gate and begin to compassionately understand another person's ideas. By being more open to a greater understanding, we are also giving that more peaceful energy out to others and they will be affected by it. They may begin to also open to new ideas or at least to greater understanding and compassion. As we each expand our own consciousness and understanding we can affect the entire world.
