Check back with yourself.

Over time, I’ve realized that life has a way of making you change your opinion or mindset on certain things faster than you can say “Jack Robinson”. Why is that?

Maybe it’s because we often create these opinions in hypothetical situations, and then when faced with a practical real-life situation, we realize it’s a whole different ball game. Or maybe it’s because the foundations we build these opinions on aren't always the strongest.

Whichever the case is, try to make time to check back with yourself and review what you stand for. Sometimes you might surprise yourself. Other times, you can see it as an opportunity to reinforce some beliefs and opinions you already have.

Just make it a routine habit, so you remind yourself who you really are. Sometimes our thoughts of ourselves and our actual selves are often very contrasting.
