Sometimes it's tough to admit that we're wrong, isn't it?

It's okay to change your mind. In fact, it's more than okay—it's a sign of strength.

Think about a moment in your day when you were adamant about something, perhaps a route to take avoiding traffic or a way to solve a problem at work. Imagine discovering there was a better option you hadn't considered. Would you stubbornly stick to your plan, or would you adapt based on this new information?

The ability to shift perspective and embrace truth is key to personal growth. Truth, as Marcus says, is harmless. What does harm, however, is clinging to false beliefs, just because they're familiar.

Now, what self-deceptions might you be holding onto? Can you think of a time you refused to listen to someone else because their view challenged yours?

Seek honesty even when it's uncomfortable. The next time someone offers evidence that contradicts your ideas, pause. Take it in without resistance. Being wrong isn't a verdict on your character; it's an opportunity.

If you pivot from mistakes with the grace of a learner, instead of the fear of being judged, you'll not only deepen your understanding, but also exemplify the very essence of wisdom.

Let go of ignorance, embrace correction, and watch as every day becomes a chance to improve, unharmed by the truth, but empowered by it.
