Remain Flexible About Your Own Ideas - Ego-Bound Individuals Stubbornly Cling To An Idea - Recognize Opportunities to Expand Your Perceptions and Understanding
Do not think that you can abandon reason and common sense “because my intuition is guiding me.” Through your persistent prayers for guidance and your calm receptivity, an inner sense will prompt you as to the best way to proceed. When that happens, go forward with full faith; but all the while remain flexible: “It seems to me that this is the right way to go. But if at any time, Lord, You show me that I have made the wrong choice, I can step back; I can accept correction.”
Sometimes we get so infatuated with our own ideas or wonted way of doing things that we strongly resent any suggestion that some other way might be better or equally acceptable. Perhaps at work you have gone to a lot of effort to prepare a proposal, but your ideas are rejected. The ego-bound individual will get upset over such treatment. But that isn’t the right attitude. Do not be the type of person who is irrationally attached to his own idea - it’s his “baby” and you had better use it or else! This is emotional blindness; stubbornly clinging to an idea just because it is “ours” prevents us from recognizing opportunities to expand our perception and understanding.
