Being Wrong Never Felt So Right
This quote is the hallmark of my year and what’s new perspective I have on my life and career.
This year has been a revolution for my mindset and lifestyle approach. I have learnt more in the last 8 months than I did in the last 8 years. I've learnt more about my behaviour, human behavior, exercise, training, business and nutrition by doing something very important.....Being okay with being wrong.
I opened my mind to other's opinions and beliefs. Guess what happened. I learnt more.....Way more.
In the beginning of 2020, I knew I wanted to grow, but didn't know how. Quite possibly because I was only listening to myself and my belief systems.
When Covid hit, I turned to a new way of doing business with an old college and his company Maverick coaching. I hated to admit a previous coworker of mine was going to teach me how to be successful. How could he be better than me?
Now him and his colleague have redefined my path to give me a real future in my career. I was able to step fully into my own business and rely on myself.
Around that same time of the year, one of my best friends had actually challenged me on some of my nutritional knowledge. I remember he had asked me, “Who are you listening to these days?“ And I said to him “no one”—Because I just finished my nutrition degree, why would I need to listen to anyone else?
Then he started to give me some resources of some of the people he was listening to. This lead me down the rabbit hole of the carnivore diet and holistic eating, away from main stream traditional way of controlling your diet.
This was revolutionary for me to know how much I didn’t know. It was so humbling to realize how many more ways there are for someone to live a good life utilizing very different strategies for nutrition. When I was on this rabbit hole, one of the speakers was Dr. Gundry. He spoke about how someone asked him why he changed his opinion on one book to another. And he simply said, “That’s because I didn’t know what I know now. Ask me again 10 years from now and I might change my opinion again.”
I now feel the exact same. Ready to make mistakes more now than ever.
