Do you know how to keep an open mind? How can you confront challenges head-on?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learning to manage your time<\/a> and how you frame things can help dispel the unhelpful belief that life is just something that happens <\/em>to you. Keeping an open mind will help you respond better to unexpected events in your journey, and teach you how to overcome obstacles<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discover why keeping an open mind is essential for your self-improvement journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Confront Challenges and Open Your Mind<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Life provides a myriad of circumstances\u2014both positive and negative\u2014and the way you choose to respond significantly shapes your personal journey. Arnold Schwarzenegger explains that you need to see failure as nothing more than a call for more improvement, which you can facilitate by always keeping your mind open to new knowledge and actively being curious about the world and people around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not everything in life is under your control, but how you react certainly is\u2014whether to a setback, a problem, or even an unexpected stroke of luck. Schwarzenegger suggests that bemoaning your past or current problems wastes time that could be spent chasing your dreams.<\/strong> To reclaim this lost time and learn from your hardships, you need to learn how to keep an open mind by pausing and shifting your thinking to an optimistic view. Even failure doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019ve been wasting your efforts\u2014instead, consider it a teaching moment on your journey. Schwarzenegger mentions weightlifting as a sport in which failure is used to measure progress<\/a> every day. It\u2019s only when a weightlifter pushes her muscles until they fail that she knows she\u2019s putting in enough effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: As with the \u201cfixed mindset\u201d discussed earlier in this guide, we tend to view struggles negatively because we\u2019ve been taught that struggle signals weakness, when it\u2019s actually a sign that we\u2019re experiencing growth. In Limitless Mind<\/em><\/a>, educator Jo Boaler writes that having a hard time working through a problem is good for mental development<\/a>. Brain scans prove that people who make mistakes and correct them show more mental activity<\/a> than people who don\u2019t have to struggle through a problem. Therefore, people who fight through their difficulties exercise their brains more than people who don\u2019t. Thus, Schwarzenegger\u2019s example of physical progress via pushing muscles to the point of failure applies equally to the mind.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just as pushing yourself<\/a> is key to physical fitness, it\u2019s vital for mental acuity as well. Schwarzenegger writes that your learning must extend beyond the confines of traditional education and carry on throughout your life.<\/strong> You can and should gain whatever knowledge you can from anyone, anywhere, and in any way. Real-world experiences\u2014taking action, solving problems, pushing your boundaries and, yes, even failing\u2014offer invaluable lessons that you can’t learn in a controlled academic setting. Remember that knowledge functions like a muscle\u2014you have to apply it or you risk losing it. But if you actively maintain and make use of what you learn, you can significantly improve both your life and the world around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: The lifelong learning<\/a> Schwarzenegger advises is no longer optional in today\u2019s evolving job market<\/a>. Technological advances and automation have blurred the correlation between traditional education and how much you earn. There\u2019s a rising demand for employee roles requiring new, diverse skill<\/a> combinations, but employers are less likely to invest in workforce training. Therefore, you need to take the initiative to constantly update your skills throughout your career. Some business and government initiatives aim to bridge the gap between formal education and the needs of modern employment, but Schwarzenegger might argue that it\u2019s primarily your job to keep up with whatever changes your career requires.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Always Be Curious<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Curiosity is key to lifelong learning. Schwarzenegger says that being curious transforms the people around you into potential teachers<\/strong> and attracts those who recognize your eagerness to learn. Don’t hesitate to inquire about others’ experiences and their fields of expertise; people are often glad to share their knowledge if you adopt a humble approach. Asking “how” and “why” questions<\/a> is particularly helpful when it comes to retaining what other people teach you, as they help you make connections with other things you\u2019ve learned, leading to deeper understanding<\/a>. Through continuous learning<\/a>, your grasp of the world expands, and with it, your control of your life\u2019s circumstances, easing your path<\/a> to achieving your dreams<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schwarzenegger writes that throughout his various careers in bodybuilding, movies, and politics, he\u2019s never stopped being a student.<\/strong> His hunger to keep learning<\/a> propelled his growth at every stage of his life. By viewing himself as a perpetual student, he learned valuable lessons from every available teacher who crossed his path. Even when working out in a gym\u2014an arena in which he\u2019s an undisputed master\u2014he\u2019ll still approach his fellow weightlifters to inquire about any exercises they\u2019re doing that he\u2019s unfamiliar with. As governor of California, he was surrounded by policy experts whom he questioned incessantly so he could understand every angle of the complex issues he faced.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
