Not sure how to measure my success here, but having realized this myself I try to be the kind of person I want others to be and actually accept painful information into my head. That doesn’t mean I always agree with the latest opinion I hear, but I don’t close down just because what I’ve heard hurts my ego. It helps that I have friends that are willing to cautiously challenge my beliefs

The change I’ve made is from wanting others to be wrong to wanting myself to be right.
