On autopilot, we often make assumptions about outcomes, judgments about others, and decisions about future events. More often than not, we convince ourselves that we know what we’re doing. However, if we were to keep a log of our thoughts and decisions, we might be surprised by the sheer volume of errors we make each day.
One thing that can help is to constantly remind ourselves: I might be wrong. Embracing the humility to accept this possibility has the power to unlock new opportunities for success. By recognising our fallibility, we remain open to learning, adjusting, and improving our decisions over time.
