Why Changing Your Mind Is a Sign of Strength

Pause with me for a moment and let that truth sink in:

Why Changing Your Mind Is a Sign of Strength.

It sounds simple, almost obvious. Yet, for so many of us, it’s not. Somewhere along the way, we picked up the belief that changing our minds was a sign of weakness or failure. That once we said yes to a job, a belief, a relationship, a role, even a version of ourselves, we had to carry it forever.

We’ve been told that “strong” people stick it out no matter what. That leaving means we’re flaky. That rethinking means we’re confused. That saying “This no longer works for me” is the same as quitting.

But here’s the real question:

Who decided that certainty is the measure of a life well lived?
Who decided curiosity was a flaw?
And why is letting go seen as giving up, instead of growing up?

Growth Isn’t a Straight Line — And Neither Are You

Think about who you were 5, 10, or even 20 years ago. Chances are, your values have shifted. Your dreams have changed shape. The things that once made you feel alive may now feel heavy or out of place.
