One of life’s most challenging things is to shift another person’s thinking.

Growing beyond what you believe is no small challenge. We genuinely hold tightly to our opinion, and I am not sure that is entirely healthy. It is true that once you believe something, you see life through the paradigm of that belief.

Let’s say you believe a particular person is a liar, and you know that’s true. That sounds weird. But, the lying person privately decides to stop lying.

Let’s remember people can change their negative behavior. Even though the liar has a changed mind, this does not change how others see them, and convincing others of that change is challenging.

Another person loves conspiracies. Conspiracy evangelists crave hearing bizarre episodes of what is not-so-happening. Have you ever submitted factual evidence and facts to those under the hypnotic spell of conspiracy?

You will most likely hit a cerebral brick wall and hear some off-the-wall concepts that resemble the matrix.

So the big question is, what inhibits us from changing our minds?

Search for the truth
