Let yourself be corrected

Growth · Little Light original

There is a moment in learning when you realise that an idea you have defended no longer fits what you know. You may feel embarrassed by how confidently you held it. Let that feeling pass through the conversation without making it responsible for your next decision. Ask the question. Read the evidence again. Say that you see it differently now. You are allowed to update your understanding without turning your earlier self into an enemy. A thoughtful life includes conclusions you will eventually outgrow. What matters is that you remain willing to notice when a better explanation arrives, and give it an honest hearing.
