On Changing One's Mind
“When true myth rises into consciousness, that is always its message. You must change your life.”
Ursula K. Le Guin (1929–2018) American writer
"Myth and Archetype in Science Fiction" (1976)
Context: True myth may serve for thousands of years as an inexhaustible source of intellectual speculation, religious joy, ethical inquiry, and artistic renewal. The real mystery is not destroyed by reason. The fake one is. You look at it and it vanishes. You look at the Blond Hero — really look — and he turns into a gerbil. But you look at Apollo, and he looks back at you. The poet Rilke looked at a statue of Apollo about fifty years ago, and Apollo spoke to him. “You must change your life,” he said. When true myth rises into consciousness, that is always its message. You must change your life.
“If you can change your mind, you can change your life.”
William James (1842–1910) American philosopher, psychologist, and pragmatist
“change your brain, change your life”
Ilchi Lee (1950) South Korean businessman
Change: Realizing Your Greatest Potential
“Small changes can make huge destination differences.”
Sean Covey (1964) author; business executive

Variant: Once you change your philosophy, you change your thought pattern. Once you change your thought pattern, you change your — your attitude. Once you change your attitude, it changes your behavior pattern and then you go on into some action.
Context: Once you change your philosophy, you change your thought pattern. Once you change your thought pattern, you change your — your attitude. Once you change your attitude, it changes your behavior pattern and then you go on into some action. As long as you gotta sit-down philosophy, you’ll have a sit-down thought pattern, and as long as you think that old sit-down thought you’ll be in some kind of sit-down action.
