We often defend old decisions because changing direction feels like admitting failure. But the person who made the original choice did not possess everything we know today.
New evidence, new experience, and new understanding should sometimes produce a different conclusion.
I have learned that consistency is valuable when it reflects stable principles. It becomes limiting when it requires us to defend an outdated position only to protect our image.
Changing our mind does not always mean that the earlier decision was foolish. It may mean that we continued learning.
Identity should give us a foundation, not a prison.

Growth requires enough confidence to keep our principles — and enough humility to revise our conclusions.
