“I’ve changed my mind.”
This often rubs others the wrong way.
There go their plans.
But isn’t it only natural?
You change your mind because of new information.
This information alters your perspective.
Which leads to changing your mind.
Changing your mind means growth.
As long as it’s due to learning.
Not on a whim.
Changing your mind means trying something new.
Doing something differently.
The result: to be determined.
But what’s the worst that can happen?
You changing your mind again?
As long as you keep moving forward, what’s the harm in changing your mind?
You’re discovering something new.
Nobody can fault you for trying.
Sure, it may affect others.
It almost always does.
Does that mean you shouldn’t do it?
Run the risk of being stuck?
Having regret?
Just don’t decide on the spur of the moment.
Sleep on it one night.
Still want to change your mind?
Go for it.
You know what it’s like right now.
Explore the alternative.
Worried about others?
Communicate.
Explain.
Understand.
Figure out how you can continue to change your mind.
Without upsetting or making matters worse for others.
Make the adjustments.
Improve your process.
And say it proudly.
“I’ve changed my mind.”
