How to use «Change of heart» in context?

When we speak of «change of heart,» we are often referring to a shift of perspective that leads us to act in a different way than we have in the past. Sometimes this change comes about gradually, as we learn more about ourselves and the world around us. At other times it can come about quickly and dramatically, as when we experience a life-altering event. In either case, the goal is the same — to find a way to live our lives in a way that is more fulfilling and satisfying.

There is no one explanation for why someone might experience a change of heart.
