Yet a closer look revealed that history may have done a disservice to Bryan, who died soon after the trial and couldn’t defend himself. “He was ridiculed by his contemporaries Clarence Darrow called him ‘the idol of all morondom’,” Lepore noted. She’d made close studies of the 1925 Scopes “monkey trial,” and like many historians she’d held a low opinion of prosecutor William Jennings Bryan. Yet she too had to reexamine a long-held belief. “My own change of mind didn’t warrant coverage in the New York Times,” said Harvard Professor of American History Jill Lepore, who is teaching a reading group at HLS on the Second Amendment this spring.

This he said was consistent with the Supreme Court’s ruling in McDonald v. “And I wrote for 20 years that the 2nd Amendment had nothing to do with modern society, since we no longer keep militias.” However, he made a closer study more recently and concluded that the 14 th Amendment granted certain rights to the formerly enslaved, including the 2 nd Amendment right to bear arms. “I personally hate gun violence and wouldn’t mind having all guns confiscated,” he said. Long an outspoken advocate for gun control, Tribe professed for decades that the 2 nd Amendment has no application to current gun laws, since it specifies the right to arm militias rather than individuals.

I cannot tell you the difference it made in me. 30 whole minutes were all mind at the beginning of the day, before starting all of my other obligations. I could listen to music, listen to an audiobook, and make other short-term goals for myself. Before I knew it, it was a habit and enjoyable. I decided to wake my youngest daughter up for school and while she was getting ready, take that 30 minutes and walk! Every day before driving her to school, I went for that walk. Once I made up my mind that I was going to take this next step and do it in small chunks, I was able to achieve it. But, I would always find an excuse not to do it. I knew it was the right thing to do, for my health and my energy. I needed to move more, get more physical exercise. After several days of starting with that small task, I couldn’t believe the difference it was starting to make.
I started with one small mental exercise every day… Do one thing to make myself and someone else smile. It sounds so simple, right? But, sometimes the most difficult thing to c hange is your mindset. That one decision has had an incredible impact. Consciously make the choice to change your mind.

How to change your mind so you can change your life:ġ. I wanted mine to be the best it could be! It was time to change my mind, and change my life. I decided to take charge, take action, and try my best to make a change for the better. One day I woke up and those were the only things I was feeling anymore. I got to travel the world, really had a life that anyone would have been thrilled with and I was! Little by little and for no obvious reason, negativity & hopelessness started creeping into my every day. I’ve met the man of my dreams, have a beautiful family, and wonderful friends. The present is the foundation for our future. I believe if we change our minds, we can change our lives. And suddenly I seemed to have lost myself. I was always known as the Pollyanna amongst my peers. I had become increasingly negative, expected the worst, and didn’t feel hopeful. After much soul-searching and trying to get to the root of my disillusionment, I realized what I really needed to change was my mind.
