Open your mind to new and wonderful things all it takes is you.

1. New Thoughts
New thoughts can come from taking a new perspective on
things. One way to do that is to challenge the assumptions that
exist. For example, is love really a feeling of desire or
attachment? This is a common assumption, but what if we
challenge this?
New Thoughts on Love Desire and attachment can be strong
feelings, and they are often called love in certain contexts.
However, attachment can be for bad reasons too, right? Desire
too can come from less than noble places. What is an
alternative definition of love?

2. How about a recognition of value? Seeing the inherent value in
a person, like the beauty you see in a painting or hear in a
melody. You do not need to be attached or even desirous of
beauty to enjoy it. You just must recognize it. The enjoyment
that you take in another’s existence then could be a definition
of love. At least the emotion.
Love is more than an emotion though. How much love does a
mother have for her children if she feels fond towards them,
but does not feed them? Love in this context must include
action, doesn’t it?
This points up the real problem with defining concepts like love.
There are seven or eight or perhaps a hundred things we want
to communicate. They are each different, yet we have just one
word for them. Maybe rather than re-defining love we need to
create a dozen new words. Now there is an area for some new
thoughts.
Random New Thoughts
Another way to have new thoughts is to just look for new ideas
to replace old ones. Then you expand on the new idea, to see

3. what value you might find in it. Here are some examples of new
thoughts, without expanding on them (help yourself).
– Why do we encourage uniformed people to vote? Maybe it is
better to encourage people NOT to vote, unless they are willing
to educate themselves on the issues.
– Is multi-tasking really a sign of efficiency? Maybe the fact that
we need to be so busy just to get what we want shows that our
actions are not effective enough.
– Why can’t we pay less for a surgeon who kills more people on
the operating table? Why not recognize that there are better
and worse doctors, have that information available, and pay
accordingly?
– How about wonder instead of faith? Faith is just believing
without reason. Wonder is to marvel at the world and accept
that we do not have reasons or explanations for everything.
Finally, what if our level of creativity, and ability to have new
thoughts is not just something that is set at birth. What if it is a
systematic process, one that may not be recognized by those

4. who use it, but can be identified and copied? All of us can train
ourselves to have creative new thoughts.
Opening your mind to new thoughts Is like opening your soul find out
