Sometimes a new beginning can mark a bigger shift, from the old you to the new you. “Wait a minute. I changed my mind. But I’ve always done it this other way.

The complexity of situations, these days, is too high to use only one way of making decisions. You could follow Aristotle’s perspective, who said: obstacles are an opportunity to build character.
