🏛️ Stoic Quote

When we become fixed in our perceptions we lose our ability to fly. - Mingyur Rinpoche

In modern life, if we stubbornly cling to our preconceived notions and refuse to consider different perspectives, we limit our growth and adaptability, just like a bird with clipped wings. Remaining open-minded allows us to soar to new heights of understanding and compassion.

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Romans 12:2 ESV

The Bible verse encourages transformation through the renewal of the mind to discern God's will, which aligns with the lesson of being open-minded to consider different perspectives for growth. Wisdom in Stoicism involves the ability to adapt and grow by being receptive to new ideas and perspectives.
