What’s a topic or issue about which you’ve changed your mind?
My mind is far too flexible to be made up. Life is full of questions with nowhere near the number of definite answers otherwise known as opinions.
Often humans mistake an opinion for knowledge.
Where I have changed my mind completely is in the way I train it myself, overwriting old programmes, that’s still work in progress but definitely improving.
What I thought life was and what it is are now diametrically opposite. A grind from the cradle to the grave has now become an infinite adventure.
What I thought a human was is now transitional not fixed. From atoms to an organic Earthship powered by eternal atoms.
What I thought mattered has shrunk massively during my life. Happiness is the top priority and everything comes from there. I don’t allow people into my mind now if I can possibly avoid it. That helps.
I don’t live my life via the opinions of others. I added how what I see, hear, and read, feels to me. Research if necessary. Only take it on board if it feels true, and I’m always open to dismissing, tweaking, or adding to my knowledge. No fixed beliefs, just my ever-developing personal ones.
It’s a fluid way to live with no emotional traps to embrace and allow to screw you up, if you pay attention.
As in don’t start meditating then remember the shopping list, the time, realise it’s Wednesday and you have a group, or she’s the entire time telling yourself off for not being able to empty your mind.
Yep work in progress.

Although when I really think about it, I was relieved to see Labour win the UK election, but they managed to mess up their reputation in a way that made the Conservatives look rather slow. We had a few good years with them not in-fighting until the classic British Buffoon arrived. So my mind is changing on that score, come on Lib Dem’s!
