“That’s when I push myself, and try harder to be open to the possibility that I’m mistaken. Why do I hold that belief? Are there those who don’t? Do I respect them, or at least some of them? Why might they have come to a different conclusion? I try to recall times in the past when I was wrong about something, even though I’d been confident of being right. The bigger the mistake, the better. The process helps me to understand that the mental adjustment to a new thought paradigm isn’t as easy as hindsight always makes it seem.”
