“Do not assume you are good soil.”
— Francis Chan
Simplified Meaning:
Don't automatically think that you are always ready to accept new ideas or learn new things. Sometimes, we might believe we are open-minded, but in reality, we might resist change or new information. For instance, imagine a person who thinks they are very open to feedback at work. When their boss suggests a new way of doing things, they quickly dismiss it without really considering it. This person isn't as open as they thought. Instead of assuming you’re always receptive, try to check if you truly are. By doing this, you can grow more effectively, like plants in good soil that absorb water better. It helps to be willing to listen and adapt.
