#030: When Your Mind's Made Up

Move on. 

When the decision is made and the course is set, you will be better served to saddle up and move forward than to stand still and try to convince someone to change (including yourself).

The first question to ask (yourself or someone else) before charting an alternate path is, "Is your mind made up?"

Yes - there will be times for passionate pleas and desperate deals, but these moments are rare. 

Brick walls neither whisper or yell back. Recognize when you're arguing with one and save your voice. You'll need it down the road.
