Season 7; Episode 19 (139) - ON PERSONAL GROWTH - Stoicism For a Better Life Podcast
Manage episode 479861566 series 2594498
Growth doesn’t come from always being right. It comes from being willing to ask, “What if I’m wrong?” Most of us never do. They build an identity around being “correct.” They defend their beliefs like a fortress—unwilling to let anything new in. But here’s the irony: If you never question yourself, you never evolve. Epictetus nailed it when he said: “It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows.” In other words, you can't fix that which is not broken.
