You could be dedicated to promoting your personal beliefs to others, which may make you seem zealous today. While having strong convictions about your life and the way you should live it can be healthy, perhaps you might wish to keep in mind that not everyone shares your same belief system. A large part of learning to be open to other people means that you are able to tolerate and accept that even though the way they see the world is different, their ideas are equally valuable. Should you find yourself ardently defending or upholding your opinions today, you can think about other people's arguments. As you try to imagine the strength and will behind their points of view, you might be able to see the similarities in the beliefs you all hold, and use that connection to come to a place of mutual understanding.
Respecting the beliefs of others encourages an appreciation of the diversity that exists in our world. Once we learn to extend the same courtesy of being open-minded to others as we wish they were to us, we will begin to realize that opposing points of view usually bring us to greater realizations of the truth. Seeing the merit in a range of beliefs and opinions today will take you away from a limited viewpoint and will instead allow you to synthesize, have consideration for, and accept the beauty that exists in all of our differences.
