Strong Opinions, Loosely Held

Last night we had a great discussion on different economic and political systems and their merits and shortcomings.

We had 3 generations involved in the discussion and the opinions varied widely. The debate was lively and at times passionate.

I practiced reminding myself to keep the framework of “Strong opinions, loosely held”. This means by all means have strong opinions and voice those with conviction. However be open to having those opinions change when presented with new information.

All too often we dig in or double down on our beliefs even when presented with compelling information to shift those beliefs.

So my challenge today is to keep this concept in mind as you move through your daily interactions
