The Secret to Sending Messages to the Subconscious

Our brain uses a language that is very different from what we think. Beyond the logical, straightforward sentences we construct in daily life, the brain has its own unique form of communication. This language is much more powerful than words. This is because the subconscious operates through feelings, images, and repetition rather than words.

Many people wonder why the same patterns repeat themselves in their lives. Yet the answer is quite simple: The brain accepts as true whatever message it receives frequently and begins to act accordingly. Even if we think different things on a conscious level, the subconscious mind acts on the messages it receives. That is why learning to speak the language of the brain is the most effective way to transform our lives.

Frequent and Intensive Repetitions

The brain’s language works through visuals, symbols, emotions, and repetition. When you simply think of a word, your brain perceives it as short-term data and quickly forgets it. But when you reinforce that same word with a strong emotion and a vivid image, it becomes a “reality” for your brain. For example, the sentence “I am successful” may remain just an ordinary phrase in your mind. But when you visualize yourself on stage receiving applause or having achieved your goal, your brain records this scene as if it were real.

Here’s the most effective way to send a message to your subconscious: Use words over and over again, reinforce them with emotions, and, if possible, support them with visuals. This is because the brain perceives repeated messages as a kind of reality code. The more frequently and powerfully you repeat a message, the faster your subconscious will accept it.

Keep Your Messages Clear

Another important point here is the clarity of the message. Vague, indecisive, or negative statements are not effective in the language of the brain. When you say, “I don’t want to fail,” your subconscious mind actually perceives only the part about “failing.” This is because its language does not distinguish between “negative suffixes.” That’s why you should always formulate your message in a positive, concise, and powerful way.

In conclusion, the secret to sending messages to your subconscious is to choose the right words, infuse them with emotion, and repeat them patiently. Once your brain accepts this message as true, all your behaviors, habits, and even your body chemistry will begin to align with this new belief.

Remember, your brain doesn’t understand the everyday language you’ve created—it understands its own unique language. When you begin to speak to it in its own language, you may witness miraculous transformations in your life. Because life is nothing more than a reflection of the code you’ve written into your subconscious.

Think Less, Write Faster

The less you think about writing a mantra, the faster you’ll write it, and the more effective this method will be.

Write without thinking. Don’t wonder if it’s correct. It might be even more effective if you delve deep into your subconscious while listening to your favorite music at the same time.

Let me give you a little tip on writing mantras. Let’s say you’re telling yourself, “I’m perfect.” But your inner voice—your conscious mind—tries to put up a bunch of obstacles by responding with negative thoughts like, “You’re not perfect; you’re overweight; your nose isn’t straight; you don’t have a decent job…”

Consciousness Is Like a Guard

Consciousness, like a guard at the door, first filters the thoughts entering our mind and often turns them away with resistant interpretations. We can achieve success by trying various methods to overcome our consciousness, which creates a barrier in front of us with these kinds of interpretations. For example, let’s put on our headphones and listen to music we love while reciting a mantra. By distracting our consciousness with this method, we let our thoughts slip in through the side door. If your consciousness resists when you recite mantras like “I am amazing, I speak English very well, I am creating my perfect body,” this is the most enjoyable tactic for distracting it.

When music engages your conscious mind, it becomes easier to access your subconscious. When you write without thinking, you can easily tap into your subconscious. Because the subconscious is like a child, it is prone to accepting and believing everything we say. It accepts what we say just as it is, without interpreting or analyzing it.

A Person’s Heart Never Lies

Think about the messages you convey through your aura. When you meet people, if you radiate an energy that suggests you’re a wonderful person, they’ll think so too. Because a person’s inner self doesn’t lie; if it says so, it’s true. Now consider the opposite. If you lack self-confidence, you’ll project that lack of self-confidence and the doubts in your mind outward through your aura.

Comments and comparisons you make to yourself in your head—such as “I’m not beautiful, I’m not smart, I’m stupid”—are reflected outward exactly as they are, and people see you exactly as you see yourself. You always receive a reflection of your thoughts from the people around you—whether positive or negative!

Living an Ideal Day

Every morning we are reborn. Every new day is a new beginning. Live each day free from prejudices and the negative baggage of the past, as if “your life were only one day long.” What does this mean? Express your love, express your feelings, do what you want to do, don’t put things off, experience what you want to experience, see what you want to see, and make the most of every second of that day.

When you go to sleep, say, “I had a wonderful day today.” The key to our purpose in life is growth. Our goal should be to elevate ourselves a little further each day—to grow mentally, financially, and emotionally. To improve ourselves in every area and raise the bar, we must tap into our potential.

Just Like Watching a Video

Actually, the secret to success is very simple. Let’s say we’ve lived through the day, it’s evening, we’ve gone to bed, and we’re meditating. We lie down and reflect on the day. What we need to do is replay every hour, every minute, and every second of the day in our minds, as if we were watching a video. Then, let’s think about how it should have ideally gone and rewind the video.

Let’s think about it this way: Ideally, we were supposed to wake up at eight, right? We got up at nine. What did we miss? We missed our workout—okay. Okay, now let’s rewind the video and think about it this way: We got up at 8 a.m., worked out, started the day feeling healthy and energized, had a nice breakfast, and avoided any foods we shouldn’t have eaten. And we wrote down that ideal day exactly as we envisioned it. We lived that day, visualized it that way, and sent that vision out into the universe.

We Need to Be Able to See Our Shortcomings

As we plan for the next day, we should organize our tasks in this way. When evening comes, we should take stock of the previous day. If we had an argument with someone that day, we should forgive them and let go of negative scenarios from our minds. To prevent problems from becoming chronic, we shouldn’t hold onto them in our minds; instead, we should discard them—throw them in the trash—while they’re still fresh. And just as it should be—by visualizing and living out our dreams and ideals—we must feed the ideal scenario to our minds. In other words, we must send the ideal scenario out into the universe. In this way, by increasing our efforts a little more each day, we move closer to becoming our “ideal selves.” By recognizing our shortcomings, we focus on addressing them.

Success is like this: it’s something that can be achieved through small steps taken every day. No one can become successful in a single day. And even if they do, since there’s no foundation, that structure will collapse in no time. To achieve lasting success, you have to build on it a little more each day.

To do better, we need to work harder—more and more to get ahead of others… Success requires sacrifice. We’ll have our own plan; we’ll pursue our own plan and our dreams, but we’ll also respect the plans the universe has made for us. And we’ll always be open to embracing them.

Don't Raise Your Child in an Aquarium

Parents are not their children’s guardians in this world. You are merely your child’s guide. Instead of doing things for them, guide them. Give them responsibilities. Don’t overlook them just because they’re young. Be there to help, but in a way that guides them… They will learn to stand on their own two feet, and you will always be there to guide them.

Never forget that your child is an individual. An individual with their own character, their own emotions, their own desires, their own genetic makeup, their own brain, and their own personality… You must respect their desires and their personality. Unfortunately, the biggest mistake families make is being overly protective. You can’t raise a child in a bubble or wrap them in cotton.

Don’t let your child grow up in a fishbowl. For example, let’s say we have a fish in a fishbowl. If you release that fish—which was raised in the fishbowl and has never experienced the ocean—into the ocean… will it be able to survive? Fish raised in a fishbowl die within a minute of being released into the ocean. Similarly, when you isolate your child from everything and create a different environment for them, your child may become antisocial.

One Day, He'll Get Out, Too!

If we don’t let our children go outside—just as in this example—for reasons like not wanting them to get dirty or get into fights, and if we prevent them from gaining life experiences, we’ll make it harder for them to adapt to real life. Know that your child will grow up one day and go out into the world.

Let your child learn to share, learn about love, learn to engage in dialogue, and learn to communicate with others from a young age. All of these are instilled at a young age.

If you raise your child in a glass bubble out of a desire to protect them, it won’t do them any good. On the contrary, you’ll end up raising a child who lacks self-confidence, is antisocial, and can’t adapt to society. A parenting style based on overprotective behavior can have a negative impact on children later in life. Let children experience real life—even the parts we label as “bad.” If a child faces challenges, they will rise above them later on. They will gain the strength to cope with real-life struggles. Remember, “bad” is actually good!

You Are Just a Guide

Being overprotective causes immense harm to a child’s personal development. If you raise a bird in a cage and then release it into the wild, it won’t survive. It will fall prey to wolves and birds. The same goes for children. If you raise a child in a closed-off environment, never letting them interact with anyone—and if you prevent them from interacting with others out of fear they’ll pick up bad habits—the child will eventually become antisocial and unable to adapt to anything. Children must be raised in normal, natural environments. They’ll get into fights, and there will be times when they need to defend themselves… You’ll be the one to teach your child how to defend themselves.

Help them while they’re studying, but don’t do the work for them. The child should do the homework. You’re not there to do the homework. You’re just a guide; you’re simply there to provide support. You’re not the one who’s supposed to do the homework; you should teach them that they need to do it and show them how to go about it. Often, parents take the easy way out and do the homework themselves. The child doesn’t benefit from that. If they’re getting dressed, let them do it themselves—just show them how. If they spill food while eating, let them spill it. They’ll learn after a while. When they do it on their own, their sense of accomplishment grows stronger.

The Power of Mantra Words

A lot is written and said about mantra words. But why do we write them? Do we really know what we’re writing and why? Are these words we repeat every day merely a habit, or are they a conscious choice?

The words “today,” “more perfect,” and “we”—this trio is, in fact, at the heart of our creative process. In this article, we’ll explain why we chose these words, what they represent, and their impact on our subconscious.

Why Do We Say “Today”?

The subconscious mind is like a five-year-old child. We should use simple, straightforward, short, and concrete sentences—the kind a child can understand. Long and complex sentences are not understood by the subconscious mind. Therefore, mantras should be as clear and direct as possible.

The word “today” holds a special place within this context. Because a day is like a lifetime. When a person wakes up in the morning, they are born; they live throughout the day; and when they fall asleep at night, they die. We repeat this cycle every day. That is why “today” is so important. Making the most of today is like making the most of a lifetime.

If we set aside the past and the future, live only in the present, and stay in the moment, we can fully harness our creative power.

The State of Being “More Perfect”

The phrase “more perfect” does not mean to belittle or devalue what we have done in the past. On the contrary, we take pride in what we have accomplished so far. However, people can always create something better.

Simply saying “perfect” and leaving it at that stifles growth. But by saying “even better,” we create room for ourselves. This phrase supports our journey toward realizing our potential.

Human beings are the most perfect beings on Earth. But the important question is: Can we make use of this perfection? Can we reach every aspect of our potential? The phrase “more perfect” is a gateway to unlocking that potential.

Why “We”?

There are approximately 60 trillion cells in the body. Each cell has its own consciousness and awaits a command. When you say “we,” these cells unite, come together, and begin to support you, showing respect for your power.

The word “we” speaks not only to the mind but also to the heart. The heart is one of the centers that organizes thoughts and emotions. When we say “we,” we bring together our minds, our hearts, our bodies, our cells, our spirits, and the power of the universe.

This is a sense of wholeness. We are no longer alone. The energy of our family, our community, our coworkers, and people in our city and around the world begins to work alongside us. “We” is not just a pronoun—it is also a call to collective power.

Remembering the Power of Creation

When we say, “Today we are creating a better version of ourselves,” we are actually activating the creative power within us. Because the power that created us has placed a spark—a part of itself—within our souls.

People create the homes they live in; they create a better version of themselves; they create works of art—music, paintings, and architectural structures. Creativity is inherent in human nature. Of course, this cannot be confused with divine creation. But a person’s power to create is the power to realize their own potential.

A Summary of 35 Years of Experience

My choice of these words is based on 35 years of experience, repetition, and observation. I’ve tried it countless times, repeating it every second, every fraction of a second. Today, we are more perfect… And finally, I settled on this sentence: “Today, we are creating a more perfect version of ourselves.”

I achieved results with this sentence. Using this logic and this structure, I saw the results. I haven’t been able to get such a powerful response with any other method. That’s why I had to share it. Because this knowledge couldn’t belong only to me. If the universe sends you knowledge, it won’t send it to you again if you don’t share it. Sharing brings abundance. Power multiplies when it is shared.

Everything revolves around the word “we.” Saying “Today we are creating a better version of ourselves” is an intention, an energy, and a call to action all at once. This sentence is not just a mantra—it is also a way of life.

Today, with the hope of creating a better “us” together…

How Can a Negative Subconscious Mind Ruin Your Life?

We’ve discussed the power and characteristics of the subconscious mind many times. Now, let’s take a look together at how negative thinking and a negative subconscious mind affect our lives. First, I’d like to start with health. Can you imagine whether someone who constantly nurtures negative thoughts about illness throughout the day can actually be healthy? As we keep repeating negative thoughts like, “I’m sick, there are these illnesses in my family, I think I have high blood pressure, I think I have diabetes, my immune system is very weak,” we’re actually attracting these negative things into our lives.

Our subconscious mind interprets the messages we send it—without realizing it—as our desires. It doesn’t matter whether the illness is good or bad; it simply thinks, “I want this illness.” Whatever you repeat, whatever you focus on, you attract into your life. It’s a mechanism that works like a magnet. That’s why you must pay attention to your thoughts. Negative thoughts have a poisonous effect on our lives, causing our lives to slip away from us drop by drop, day by day.

Just as in health, negative subconscious patterns also have a detrimental effect on our relationships. A mind filled with obsessions like “My spouse doesn’t love me” or “Nobody loves me” makes it difficult to be happy. People tend to think that words are the most important aspect of communication, but the reality is different. We constantly send messages to others through the signals we send to our brain’s 60 trillion cells, our hormones, body language, posture, and energy. We also reflect this energy when we speak.

For example, when you use positive mantras like “Today we’re creating a better version of ourselves,” the power of the word “we” helps your partner realize that you are one with them, and they will respect you. You cannot succeed in a relationship by thinking only of “me” and acting selfishly and egotistically. It’s very important to understand your partner’s role and to be able to think as “we.” That way, the positive thoughts in your subconscious will be reflected onto your partner.

The Person You're Talking To Can Tell

If you’re in the opposite situation—for example, if you’re consumed by jealousy and constantly filling your mind with negative thoughts like “they’re cheating on me” or “they don’t love me”—the other person will sense it. Even if you don’t say a single word, they’ll pick up on that negative energy. That’s why you should pay attention to the thoughts running through your mind; negative thoughts are projected onto the other person and come right back to you. If someone is being disrespectful to you, it might be partly your fault.

Negative thoughts do not contribute positively to our lives. For example, if a college student says, “I can’t pass this exam; I can’t understand this course,” they’re setting up a mental barrier and will genuinely struggle to understand it. However, you can program yourself by saying, “I can do this; if I don’t know it, I’ll learn it; I’ll study morning and night.” Success or failure is shaped by the commands you send to your subconscious mind.

When you give yourself negative commands, the likelihood of failure is very high. That’s why you shouldn’t let negative thoughts take root in your mind; instead, use your mantra to erase past negative thoughts. Repeat “Today we are creating a better version of ourselves” at least 100 times every day. For someone who does this, the likelihood of a negative outcome is virtually nonexistent.

There will always be problems in life, but what matters is how you view them. Seeing problems not as something negative, but as “a task I need to solve to grow,” makes finding a solution easier. If you let negative emotions take over, you won’t be able to get through it because you’re already defeated from the start.

Remember, our subconscious mind responds to the commands we send it. If you think positively, you’ll live positively. If you think negatively, you’ll face negative consequences. The choice is yours.

How Can We Escape the Trap of Despair?

There are times in life when you feel overwhelmed by despair. But I don’t think there’s any reason to feel hopeless. I have a method: whenever something happens, I always ask myself, “What’s the worst-case scenario here? What’s the absolute worst that could happen?”

Let’s say you’re in business and you’re in a tough spot. What’s the worst-case scenario? I’m a guy who’s gone under many times. I’ve faced this problem countless times, but here I am. If going under were the end of the world, I wouldn’t be here.

I know I’ve made a lot of mistakes and gone through some tough times, but giving in to despair isn’t the answer. Sometimes people say, “I’m going to kill myself; I’m hopeless—what should I do?” Maybe in a few months, there will be a new life, a new challenge. At worst, this isn’t the end of the world.

A Wise Person Takes Precautions

Health issues can also be challenging. But I think 90 percent of illnesses are created by the mind. Physical problems are few and far between; most are conditions created by our minds. If we think positively and eat healthily, we won’t reach that point of despair.

A smart person solves problems, but a wiser person takes precautions before problems arise. When a problem arises, you solve it, but the key is to take precautions before it arises.

To avoid reaching a point of despair, you need to work hard and learn from your experiences. For example, you should prepare for a job interview well in advance, research the company, and stay positive. Because despair often stems from last-minute unpreparedness.

Budget management is also important. If you spend more than you earn, take on debt, and rely on credit cards, the problem will snowball, and you’ll end up facing foreclosure. Is there a solution? Yes. But first, you need to draw up a sensible plan and manage your expectations wisely.

Despair is a state of panic. People imagine the worst-case scenario and become afraid. But writing a mantra, cultivating mindfulness, and calming our thoughts at least allow us to assess the situation.

In my opinion, the smartest thing to do is to take precautions before you start feeling hopeless. But even if you do feel that way, you need to stay calm, think rationally, and look for ways to get yourself out of that situation. Because what’s happening isn’t the end of the world.

The Way Out

What’s the worst-case scenario? Death. But apart from death, nothing lasts forever. You might have a lot of debt, you might end up in jail, you might make mistakes—but you’ll learn your lesson and move on with your life.

Sometimes a breakup or a loss brings despair. But that breakup can open the door to better opportunities for you. The day will surely come when you’ll say, “I’m glad we went our separate ways.”

The important thing is to avoid getting into a difficult situation, to take precautions, and to use common sense and reason. Sometimes, without even realizing it, we make unnecessary expenditures and go into debt. Yet, we need to be cautious from the very beginning.

When you feel hopeless, write down a mantra, stay focused, and you’ll see the results within 2–3 weeks. If you work with discipline and the right methods, there’s always a way out.

Remember, despair is temporary, and you are strong! Believe in yourself and keep moving forward.

How Many "Likes" Did You Get?

For 70–80 percent of people today, social media is very important. “How many ‘likes’ did my post get today? How many people commented? How many people viewed it?” These questions have become very important to some people. They plan their lives based on the “likes” they receive, feel happy or unhappy as a result, and let that guide their behavior. The number of “likes” their posts receive is extremely important.

People gauge the value others place on them based on whether their posts are liked or not, and whether they’re followed or not. They even go so far as to “stalk” the people they’re interested in to get to know them better. And they don’t just do this in their personal lives. Now, even in the workplace, people try to get to know the people they’ll be working with by “stalking” them. We’re deciphering everything about each other—our worldviews, preferences, family lives, political views…—through social media.

Understand the Parameters Well

Social media has become a platform that changes our habits, shapes our lives, and defines who we are. Do you realize what that means? It means there’s now a new and very popular way to get to know one another or to express ourselves. How you choose to use social media in this sense is up to you. But we need to learn how to use it correctly to create our ideal lives. I’m not saying you should pretend to be someone you’re not. Nor am I saying you should lay everything out in the open. The ideal approach is to know what aspects of yourself to share—and how much—with others.

Unlike face-to-face communication, make sure you fully understand the dynamics of social media communication. On social media, anyone—whether you want them to or not—can reach you. Be aware of this. If you want only the people you choose to follow you and get to know you, make your accounts private. Share content that allows people to see only your outward appearance, not your inner world.

"I Don't Care" Mode

A person in “I don’t care” mode is self-aware enough to understand the role social media plays in their life and how they should use it. They use social media without getting carried away, knowing what to share and what not to share with others. When you’re in “I don’t care” mode, you know your limits. You share content that best suits your social standing.

If you’re a teacher, you’ll share content that inspires and sets an example for your students, colleagues, parents, and school administrators. When you’re in “I don’t care” mode, you’ll post content that’s appropriate for your responsibilities. That way, you won’t be overwhelmed by social media.

Making the Most of Your Brain Every Second

To use your brain to its full potential every second means to be open to every message that might come from the universe every second. The universe sends us thousands of chances and opportunities every second. If we keep our minds alert and wait, ready to seize these chances and opportunities, we can take them. But if we’re not aware when the universe sends this information—if our minds are asleep or stuck in negative thoughts and beliefs—we won’t be able to see them.

Just as we can take our communication with others to the healthiest level by using our brains perfectly every second, we can also achieve new and small successes every day by recognizing every opportunity. Ultimately, we can achieve the happiness we desire: by not procrastinating, being honest, looking at the world with love, staying mindful by using our brains perfectly every second, and continuously growing every day—building our future as if we were constructing a building, adding one new brick at a time…

Change Starts with Small Steps

If we work on improving ourselves every day, we will become outstanding individuals. If we work on improving ourselves every day, we will become outstanding people. If we work on improving ourselves every day, we will become an outstanding society. If we work on improving ourselves every day, we will create an outstanding world.

Change must begin with small steps. The world we live in today was not created in a single day. People created this world by doing something every day, building upon it, adding more, and developing these accumulated efforts. It took centuries of hard work to reach where we are now. That’s why, if we want to live the life of our dreams, we must make the most of every day and every moment. Since we’ve come into this world, and since we have the chance to live this adventure to the fullest, why shouldn’t we live as we wish? Why shouldn’t we have the life of our dreams?

Let’s say we’ve booked a vacation. How do we make the most of it? By getting the most rest, having the most fun, enjoying ourselves to the fullest, seeing as many places as possible, and learning as much as we can about our surroundings. Suppose you were sent to this world to explore it for 70 to 80 years—in that case, make the most of it. Why do you take everything so seriously, wearing yourselves out as if you were going to live forever? Relax a little. We can solve all our problems simply by changing our brain’s habits and patterns. By doing so, we give our brain a task. After all, one of its most important tasks is to carry out the instructions of its master—us.

Our Brain Is Like a Magnet

When we remind ourselves of our mantras—whether in writing or verbally—whenever we get the chance throughout the day, our brain makes it its mission to help us reach our goals faster and does whatever it takes to manifest our desires in our lives. Just like two friends working together arm in arm, we can move toward our goals in harmony with our brain. Remember: without our brain’s support, we can’t achieve anything on our own.

A person in “I don’t care” mode is highly self-aware, confident, uncomplicated, free of obsessions, anxiety-free, fearless, and unhurried. Everyone listens to people like this. Now, when it comes to the question, “How Do You Make Yourself Heard in Society?”—having a say in society gives you an advantage in many areas of your life. In your professional life, you’ll quickly climb the career ladder and achieve success. In your family life, you’ll be a beloved and respected family member. You’ll be able to make your voice heard with ease in any area where you wish to address others.

A person in “I don’t care” mode is straightforward. They are clear in every aspect of their life. They are confident in themselves, and their thoughts are clear. When explaining something, they do so without panicking or getting flustered. Most importantly, because they do not adopt an egotistical attitude, they speak without belittling or judging the person they are addressing. They are respectful toward the audience they are addressing.

People in “It doesn’t matter to me” mode speak with great conviction. They know that to become an influential figure in society, they must first develop themselves. They work on improving themselves, especially in the areas where they want their voice to be heard. With their wealth of knowledge and self-assured demeanor, they can easily make their point on any topic they choose. The people around them also enjoy listening to such a person.

You Should Be Able to Convey Information Without Panicking

You’ve probably noticed that not every knowledgeable person can make others listen to them. The key here is a person’s character. If you want your voice to carry weight in society, you must love that society. You must understand the community you wish to address and become one with them. For example, suppose you’re a professor at a university. You want your students, colleagues, and professional organizations to listen to you. You are knowledgeable, and as a professor, you are experienced, but if no one respects you, it means something is wrong. And the problem lies with you. You may not have developed yourself personally. Your public speaking skills may be lacking; you may not speak with sufficient confidence when conveying what you know; you may lack self-confidence; you may have trouble adapting your information to your audience’s level of understanding; or you may simply not care about your profession, your colleagues, or your students. If any of these reasons apply to you, it will be impossible to get others to listen to what you have to say.

A person in “I don’t care” mode can express themselves 100 percent. They can comfortably express their thoughts without panicking. And they can get to their point—what they want to say—exactly as they intend. Since they have no hang-ups, they can convey their ideas to others in their purest form—directly, without filtering them through any unnecessary mental barriers, and without worrying about what others might say or how those around them might react.

People in the “I don’t care” mindset are well-liked characters. They have won the sympathy of society. Even when they express their thoughts in the most open and direct way, they do not come across as off-putting. Their candid opinions are accepted by society without being ostracized. Society accepts them just as they are. This is because people in this mindset approach others with their ego-free, unpretentious personalities. Even when they offer negative criticism, people understand that it is offered for the good and progress of society.

They Are Open to Different Ideas

You can talk about anything with people who are in “I don’t care” mode. Everything can be discussed. You can ask them any kind of question. They are open to different perspectives and ideas. They listen to understand, without judging. They explore as many ideas as possible to synthesize different perspectives. They strive to find common ground and solutions by drawing on diverse viewpoints. For this reason, the “I don’t mind” mindset is a philosophy of life, a perspective, a way of living, and a character trait that helps solve the problems of our time.”
