Seriously, it’s okay.
This is a reality I’ve faced numerous times over numerous issues and now, I become excited at the prospect.
Sure, there’s the ego hit, which is 99% of the problem, but the benefits are incredible:
You can be open to new ideas.
You can build a new foundation.
You can stop living a lie.
You can set the course of a new future.
Consider how far we’ve come with the scientific method, which forms its basis on challenging assumptions.
Think about the societal progress and human rights advancements we’ve created because someone was finally willing to admit it might need changing.
Then there’s the organizational structures, power hierarchies and every husband, ever, about almost any issue.
All morphed, changed, adapted and grew because of the admission of being wrong along the way.
We want to be right.
And sometimes we are in a small way.
And sometimes things sound right.
Even in a small way.
But even in those moments, we must still be open and willing to admit they might need re-examining.
Because if we don’t, all we become are a society of stubborn people, certain about ideas that will never evolve.
