There is a fine line between standing on principle and simply refusing to admit when you are wrong.
Conviction is guided by reason. Stubbornness is often driven by ego.
A person with conviction can stand firm and still listen. A stubborn person may mistake every disagreement for disrespect and every correction for an attack.
Changing your mind when presented with better evidence is not weakness. It is wisdom.
Principles should guide us, not imprison us.
Stand firm when reason supports you, but remain humble enough to recognize when you are wrong.
Strength is knowing when to stand your ground. Wisdom is knowing when to change your mind.
A Question Worth Considering
When was the last time you changed your mind because someone offered a better argument?
