"If you wanna be somebody else, change your mind."

What is this, you say? It's a line from the song, "Change Your Mind", by the group Sister Hazel.

Besides being a pretty good song, the lyrics are very profound, aren't they?

I don't know that I've ever heard a phrase that so perfectly shared 2 ideas:

"If you wanna be somebody else, change your mind":

1. You're fine...don't try and change yourself. This is how God made you...although you can tweak a thing or two...

OR

2. If you need to change, the first thing that has to change is the way you think.

I think both of these interpretations could be pertinent simultaneously, which makes the phrase even more profound.

I definitely need to spend time, every now and then, on introspection...when I do, I think about this phrase and then try to act on it.
