Is Stubbornness Ruining Your Relationships?
How does being stubborn affect your relationships? Your decisions about investments? Your career? Your path to wealth?
Take a look at your mental attitude and your relationships. Are you always stubborn or convinced your way is the right way? Stubborn is being convinced that you are right when you may not be. No matter the issue, if you are stubborn, you sometimes miss the truth about a situation or a person. In other words, you don’t know the truth.
It might shock you to learn that someone who is consistently convinced they are right becomes very boring very fast. Even when presented with the facts of the matter, they are convinced otherwise.
Defining “Conviction”
Conviction is a mindset that certain beliefs about ourselves or others are true. These beliefs are usually formed by outside information flooding our consciousness. We have preset beliefs and prejudices about people, money, and life.
When we are presented with evidence to the contrary, we become stubborn and cannot accept information that contradicts our beliefs.
Because of this, we can miss the truth about a situation or a person.
We become blinded by our beliefs, and when this happens, we become tunnel visioned and can miss out on some of the greatest opportunities in life.
The Science Behind Stubbornness
Science is now better able to explain just what makes someone stubborn or convinced they are right. Stubborn people “can be annoying when their rigidity gets in the way of being able to change their minds. However, rather than being a personality trait, neuroscience suggests it’s all in the way the brain makes predictions.”
Scientists have found that our brains naturally make predictions based on our life experiences, which is normal brain activity. Our life experiences give us knowledge, and it is this knowledge that makes predictions for us.
However, what was true yesterday might be altered or not true today due to circumstances, and so our brains make a prediction based on past experience.
It takes awareness to understand that stubbornness may not be appropriate for a current event.
Then is when knowing becomes relative to the day.

Here Is a Better Kind of Conviction
A much better sense of conviction occurs when a belief is developed from the inside, from introspection, from being open to the universe to receive truth and new information, and one which will help us manifest our desires in life.
Use creativity to mix up your life and patterns. If you are convinced that the movie on A Street is better than the one on B Street that your partner would prefer to see, then shake up your brain patterns and give B Street a try.
Make a conviction that you will improve your relationships if you:
- Will be open to new actors.
- Will embrace a new movie.
- Will enjoy the performance and evening out, no matter what.
- Will let your partner experience their conviction for a change.
At work, make a conviction that you:
- Will listen to different points of view.
- Will ask questions so you can understand why they believe the way they do.
- Will ask yourself to be honest with yourself so that you can understand others’ points of view.
- Will be patient with yourself and others.
Being Stubborn Is Not Necessary
Being honest and receptive will open a new pathway for you to experience richer relationships and make better career choices.
Stubbornness closes off information, some of which could help you to make smarter choices to obtain the goals you want to advance. Making wiser investment selections by listening to other points of view can enhance your life in ways you have never imagined.
You don’t have to be hard on yourself for living a stubborn life up to now when you realize it has mostly been programming by the brain that has made you think like that.
But now that you know you don’t have to be stubborn to get your way in life, you can use this new knowledge to be smart! A small amount of effort can change your life forever, and now is the time to do it!
