Several Possibilities and Options Instead of Only One
I like this idea I learned from Donald Trump which is: Keep your mind open. Create many options in front of you instead of just one.
Doing this will not allow you to fall when you face a challenging obstacle. When facing a difficult situation, this mindset releases you from the habit of depending on one person or one opinion or one idea. Instead it opens up doors for you to realize other opportunities and solutions you may think of.
This also activates your mind and keeps you busy generating new and creative ideas every day. You would move on from the old system and go create your own system, terms and rules. It expands your social network and general knowledge as well.
From personal experience, adopting this mindset makes others perceive you as ignorant, knowing it all and full of yourself. But believe me when I tell you this. When you have several options and possibilities in your mind instead of only one, you avoid being stuck in one position in life. And finally, this empowers you to have genuine conversations and take important decisions.
