Meditation reading for Friday May 2, 2025
REMAINING TEACHABLE —
Those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything. One thing we all have going for us is the ability to change our mind. Thank God. If we were still stuck with our childhood beliefs, where would we be now? Many of us have gotten into deep trouble—physically and emotionally—by following beliefs that proved wrong. For instance, the treacherous belief that we are self-sufficient, that to depend on others is a sign of weakness. How many of us crashed and burned while holding high the banner of independence?
Disastrous circumstances have forced us to change our mind. Now we know that we cannot get along without others, nor without a Higher Power to guide us. We are still tempted daily to go it alone—old habits die hard—but we can change our mind as often as needed.
Today, I can remain teachable and exercise the greatest force for change in my life—I can change my mind.
