Mental Health Warriors

What do you do when someone challenges your ideas? Do you look at it as an opportunity to convince them you're right? Do you get defensive? Do you listen just so you know when to jump in and respond? Do you see disagreement as binary?  Someone will win and someone will lose? I did for the first 40 years of my life. And you know what?  It's an absolutely stupid way to behave. Make curiosity a foundational value in your life. It changes how you think, explore and interact. Rejoice when you realize your ideas aren't even close to well thought out. Every moment is an opportunity to learn.  Seize the chance.
