Changing beliefs can be difficult, and for some, almost impossible.  What do you think makes changing the cognitions (beliefs) so difficult?  What might cause people to resist the changes? Are there ways we can help change beliefs?

This is not “modern” thinking, and it has been around for thousands of years. In his works “Meditations”, Marcus Aurelius (Roman Emperor from 161 CE to 180 CE) offers us this, If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment. This is reemphasized by his thought that You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.
