Opinion, Belief and Conviction |
|
 By: Anthony Robbins
There are three different levels of certainty: opinion, belief and conviction.
Opinions can be shifted easily, as they are based on transitory perceptions.
Beliefs are much stronger because they're based either on many experiences or on experiences with more emotion attached to them. It's still possible to destabilize this certainty with new questions.
A Conviction, on the other hand, is buttressed by such high emotional intensity that the person holding it not only feels certain, but can actually become enraged and/or blinded to any rational discussion if the conviction is even questioned.
Convictions can be incredibly empowering or unbelievably destructive.
