Today in my daily quotes I read this,
“Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you'll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others.”
An excellent point. Have you ever tried to change something significant about yourself? Lose weight, quit smoking, get healthy or even recover from the loss of a loved one? It's not easy to do. It takes determination, perseverance, strength, courage and faith. All of which you falter on at times during the process and sometimes even fail at. So why then, can we assume, that because we want someone else to be something other than what they are, that it will be easy for them to change simply because we want it? Perhaps its not the change in them that is the significant one to be made. Perhaps, just maybe, it's our ability to change what we can accept in others that leads to real contentment.
