If you can change your mind, you can change your life.

Change your mind, change your life.

Change your thoughts and you can change the world.

Change your thoughts and change your world.

Convincing someone to change their mind is really the process of convincing someone to change their tribe. If they abandon their beliefs, they run the risk of losing social ties. You can't expect someone to change their mind if you take away their community too. You have to give them somewhere to go.

Nobody wants their worldview torn apart if loneliness is the outcome.

I am so grateful for having a mind that can be changed.

People are terrified of changing their minds. Changing your mind is a door you don’t want to open because you don’t know what’s behind it. Changing your mind means losing all your friends. Changing your mind means a complete revolution in your life. Changing your mind means publicly admitting you’ve been wrong. […] People don’t want to change their minds.

If you want to change someone’s mind, you must understand what need shapes his or her opinion.

Change your thoughts and change your world

If you really want to change someone’s mind on a moral or political matter, you’ll need to see things from that person’s angle as well as your own. And if you do truly see it the other person’s way — deeply and intuitively — you might even find your own mind opening in response. Empathy is an antidote to righteousness, although it’s very difficult to empathize across a moral divide.

Change your thoughts and you change your world

You say you'll change the Constitution
We all want to change your head
You tell me 'it's the institution'
You'd better free your mind instead.
