Who among us hasn't ever changed their mind? Was there something wrong with the previously held belief? No. It was quite appropriate in its time frame. Belief is contextual, with respect to time. A changed belief can be a stronger one than one that is never challenged.
Please free yourself from judgmental words like "wrong". They serve no purpose whatsoever.
Belief is in a constant state of change. Surely, that doesn't apply to all of our beliefs, at the same moment. But nor are they all fixed and stable. What is learning, but changing belief?
I'm glad to hear you are at a state of flux in belief. Please, embrace it.
