You are not perfect

I was wrong. Look around you at your situation and especially at those areas that are causing you stress, dissatisfactions or unhappiness and be willing to admit that you were wrong. When you made the decision or get into the situation, it seemed like the right thing to do. Based on the information you had at the time, it was quite logical. But the answers have changed.

You have learned things that you did not know before and the external situation and requirements have changed as well. What seemed to be the right decision when you made it has turned out to be the wrong decision today. As soon as you admit that you were wrong and take action to correct the situation, your stress evaporates.

Sometimes, people think that by admitting they are worn, they are demonstrating weakness. They think people will not respect them if they admit that a decision they make and defended in the past was wrong. But it is exactly the opposite. In times of turbulence and rapid change, having the courage and character to admit you were wrong, when the mistake is probably clear to everyone around you, actually increases their respect for you and their willingness to be influenced by you in the future.

Here is an interesting point. When you identify a situation that you would not get into again today, knowing what you now know, it is too late to save the situation or the person. It is over. The only question now is, how much time, money, trouble and pain you are going to lose or suffer before you admit that you were wrong and take whatever action is necessary to rectify the situation.
