“If you never change your mind, why have one?” Edward De Bono
It happens. You support a candidate and he or she turns out to be a crook. You wear a belief on your chest only to have it ripped away by undeniable evidence. Your big idea turns out to be a bad one.
You have two choices. You can close your eyes, plant your feet, and stick your chest out, or you can do what you know you need to do: eat your words. The sooner you do, the faster you’ll grow. It’s okay to be wrong, but it’s stupid to stay wrong as a matter of principle.
Do you have some words you need to eat? Why not swallow them now and get on with the business of changing and growing?
Think, draw, write.
