"Choosing Wisely: The Courage to Change Paths"

 


Continuing with a bad decision can feel like staying true to your choices, but it often reflects a lack of courage. For instance, imagine someone who invests in a failing business despite knowing it's doomed. Rather than facing the reality and making a change, they persist in their misguided belief, unwilling to confront their mistake. Sticking with a bad choice is like staying in a boat with a hole. You know it's sinking, but you're scared to jump out.
Imagine you choose a book to read, but it turns out to be boring. If you keep reading, it's not brave; it's just wasting time. Admitting you made a mistake is like saying, "Oops, I chose the wrong book," then finding a better one to enjoy.
For example, think about picking a game to play with friends. You suggest one, but everyone seems bored. If you insist on playing the same game, it's not smart. It's better to say, "Okay, that game didn't work. Let's try something else." It shows you're brave to change your mind.
Persistence means not giving up, but it doesn't mean sticking to the wrong path. Picture trying to find your way in a forest. If one path leads to a dead end, you wouldn't keep going, right? You'd backtrack and try a different way. That's being persistent in finding the right path.
