Mindset is Community-Based
Mindset is community-based.
“Convincing someone to change their mind is the process of convincing someone to change their tribe or their group or their community or their inner circle. If they abandoned their beliefs, they'd run the risk of losing social ties, being left all alone.”
That is the single most significant factor for people who want to seek communities: not be left alone.
“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." The quotes in this blog post are from James Clear, the author of "Atomic Habits."
Mindset is community-based.
If you want to alter something in your life, very rarely do people do so without any basis and understanding of where it’s going to take them.
Think about spiritual beliefs, or even financial beliefs. If you think about education or professional beliefs, ideas, and mindset; they are community-based.
If I want to become a doctor, I see not only the purpose and the benefit of being a doctor, but also a community of other doctors.
If it's a spiritual belief, it's what people think and believe based upon the community.
What do they do? How do they serve? What do they ask of people? How do they treat people?
If we want to alter someone's mindset, we have to find a community where the mindset fits.
If we want to change our mindset, it's easier once we find that community to say, "They believe the same I do." Or maybe, "I enjoy that their beliefs are different.”
Mindset is based upon a community. Want a different mindset? Find a different community!
