My top 10 quotes that challenge the way you think

Every now and then we need to challenge ourselves a bit to become aware of the way we think. We all have our own perceptions and opinions and – often subconscious – biases about things. It’s important to keep an open mind if we want to keep improving ourselves and engage in conversations that can change the world for the better too. In this blog I’ve collected 10 quotes on being open minded.

Toen mijn moeder aan mij en mijn zusje vroeg waar we naartoe op vakantie wilden zei ik: slapen in de woestijn, mama. […] uiteindelijk werd het de kampeervakantie in Zuid-Frankrijk. . Ondanks al die mooie plekken op de wereld heeft het woestijnslapen me nooit helemaal losgelaten. Sterker nog, ik heb er nog vaak aan gedacht. Voor alles is er een tijd en een plaats, luidde m'n moeders credo; probeer het in gedachten voor je te zien en geloof er in. . Precies een jaar geleden was ik hier. In Merzouga, Marokko. Na mijn studies te hebben afgerond. En met mijn ❤️. Op een plek waar zandstormen geregeld de kop op steken, er geen stadslicht is dat de lucht verduisterd, waar je 360 graden vrij zicht hebt en je je bed liever naar buiten sleept dan in het tentenkamp slaapt. Durf te vragen en soms krijg je het terug precies zoals je het hoopte. 🌛
