Changing your mind after thinking alone about it isn’t weakness. It’s proof you were actually thinking.

STILLNESS

WHAT THIS MEANS

Holding a position forever gets confused with having integrity, when often it only means the position was never examined. Thinking produces changes, so a mind that never moves has not been used on the question. The people who look unshakeable are sometimes just people who stopped checking.

If you have quietly changed your view on something, say it out loud to one person this week in plain words. You thought about it, you landed somewhere else, and that is the end of the sentence. No apology is needed, and nobody is owed the full tour of how you got there.
