I thought about this for an hour and couldn't figure out what I had really changed my mind about. Then it hit me: it's cold. I changed my mind about cold. This happened almost a year ago at a lake in Idaho. I was able to overcome my dislike for the cold by trying an ice bath in the lake. Now, I approach the cold with open arms. I guess I didn’t change my mind in the traditional way, but experiencing cold did something to my nervous system that became enjoyable, and my mind played a huge part in it.
Agree Scott. I adopted my two children from a foreign country and it's taken me a while to understand that they don't have my genetics, and they're from a different generation.
Their definition of success is different than mine as a baby rumor was, and I have come to respect that. I think there are many parents who are pressuring their kids into a box that just doesn't work for them.
Having said that, I help my son start a new background check business through an acquisition and he is totally run with it. My daughter is now considering a different track from the UIUX and art background she had. She may get a masters and teach. They certainly understand that having a certain level of affluence from your parents helps, but I don't hit them over the head with that either because it doesn't really serve a useful purpose. You have to go with your individual circumstances and being nimble -- as you have so rightly pointed out in this post.
I changed my mind about Boston. Moved here 1.5 years ago for my wife to pursue a law career. And this year I've changed my mind about hating it here and I've grown to like it.
I changed my mind this year as well. I stopped fighting to control "all the things", and started adapting to things... more in line with that old prayer "Lord, grant me the strength to change the things I can, the grace to accept the things I can't change, and the wisdom to know the difference". This year has been one of massive change, upheaval, and tragedy, and yet my mindset change has allowed me to prosper amidst it all. I'm glad I allowed myself to change my mind. Sometimes we set limits on ourselves that simply aren't there.
