A Willing Mind: 1 Chronicles 28:9.

I saw this phrase when I was reading the Bible, and I wondered what it meant. What does a willing mind do? Here are my thoughts:

A willing mind
  • Is open to new conversation topics.
  • Is not intimidated when picking up a large or complex book.
  • Is open to learning from others.
  • Is able to acknowledge varying strengths and intelligence in others.
  • Is comfortable talking about others' beliefs.
  • Is non-judgmental
  • Asks huge questions and tiny questions.
  • Learns eagerly. 
  • Considers all new knowledge valuable.
  • Forms mental and emotional connections easily.
  • Does not shy away from the opportunity to learn something complex.
  • Is open to God's peace.
  • Is empathic and considerate.
  • Accepts love gladly.
  • Uses available resources well.
  • Stuffs itself with stories.
  • Appreciates art easily.
  • Accepts good advice. 
I only have some of these qualities (and sometimes, probably none), but it's a list to strive for.
