Rather than being open to learning, we close ourselves off out of embarrassment, fear, stubbornness, or pride. Its almost as if we say to ourselves, I have already learned all that I can [or want to learn] from this person; there is nothing else I can [or need to] learn. Its sad, because often the people closest to us know us the best. They are sometimes able to see ways in which we are acting in a self-defeating manner and can offer very simple solutions. If we are too proud or stubborn to learn, we lose out on some wonderful, simple ways to improve our lives. Remain open to the suggestions.
