Admit when you're wrong

This may not seem revolutionary to you, but it was to me.  I used to be a lot more indignant.  I would reject the notion that I should admit when I was wrong.  I simply didn't want to admit it.  I didn't want to give in.  It was childish and foolish.  But when I did, I felt like I started to set myself free.  Who was I kidding?  No one.  I'm not  perfect and am bound to make mistakes.  Stubbornly holding fast to my principal of always being right left me feeling powerless, not powerful.

Try admitting you are wrong- it can actually be quite productive when you are in the middle of a disagreement.
