This makes you strong ...

Happy Sunday Reader!

We often share your insights with our community, and this update will keep you informed about how your wisdom is inspiring others.

Over time, I’ve learned that clarity doesn’t come from adding more — it comes from removing what isn’t needed. Wisdom Weekly is meant to be simple. One thought. One pause. Something you can read quickly and carry with you, without being asked to click, buy, or go anywhere else.

So each week, I’m sharing a single idea that stands on its own. No links. No promos. No agenda. Just a small piece of wisdom you can sit with for a moment and decide what it means for you. This week’s thought is a gentle reminder many of us need more often than we admit.

🧠 TL;DR

Changing your mind isn’t weakness — it’s wisdom responding to new truth.

If we were sitting together with a pen and a napkin, here’s what I’d write:

“You’re allowed to change your mind.”

Somewhere along the way, many of us learned that consistency meant never revisiting a decision. That once we chose a path, we were supposed to defend it. Stay loyal to it. Push through, even when something inside us quietly shifted.

But growth doesn’t work like that.

Changing your mind doesn’t erase who you were.
It doesn’t make past decisions wrong.
It simply means you’ve learned something new.

Wisdom evolves.
Perspective deepens.
Life reveals more of itself as you go.

And sometimes the bravest thing you can do is admit:
​This no longer fits.​
​I see this differently now.​
​There’s a better way forward for me.

That’s not quitting.
That’s listening.

You are not betraying your past self by choosing differently today. You’re honoring them for getting you far enough to see what you couldn’t see before.

Changing your mind is often the moment when clarity catches up to courage.

So if you’re standing at a crossroads right now — questioning a plan, a direction, a role, or an identity you once felt certain about — give yourself permission to pause.

Ask yourself:
​“What do I know now that I didn’t know then?”

And let that answer guide you.

You’re allowed to grow.
You’re allowed to revise.
You’re allowed to choose again.

That’s not inconsistency or weakness.
It's strength and growth.
That’s wisdom doing its job.

Make it a great week,

Govindh
