You’re different! You’ve changed! You’ve leveled up!
Surprise surprise, you’re not the same person you used to be. Yes, that’s right, you have grown, hopefully matured, and you think differently than you have a month ago, a year ago, five years ago, and on…
This is actually not a surprise, but a given.
You’ve experienced new events, met new people, done things you haven’t before, and basically learned, adapted, adjusted, and grown to what you are today…
…which is different than what you will be tomorrow, in a year, in five years, and so on.
Accepting this allows us to be a bit more open to change and even accept that our views will likely differ from our previous selves.
And that’s…OK 🙂
We go through our daily motions, experiment and fail and recalibrate, and we keep on learning, adjusting our views, expectations, and beliefs based on results…
…I hope.
I mean, how many times have we said to ourselves ‘if I knew this back when…’? It’s because we didn’t, but we do know it now, and it will impact how we will think and react in a future event.
So embrace the pivot, know that things won’t remain the same as always, and also expect that you may be found wrong or mistaken, and it is a chance to learn something new and level up even more.
