Sometimes we think we know what’s best for others, but if
we’re honest with ourselves, we’ll likely realize we want people to change when
we simply don’t feel satisfied being in a relationship with them as they are.
We all want to be loved and accepted, just as we are. We
want people to honor our interests, value our needs, and respect our choices in
life.
People don’t want to be changed & we can’t force them to
change. This causes no end of frustration, for us and the person who we’re
trying to change. The people we want to change, there are others out there
who’d accept and even value them, just as they are.
If it’s not easy for you to change, why should we expect
everyone else to change, and get frustrated when they don’t? Why not change to adapt to the reality of the world around
you, instead of expecting the world to bend to your desires?
To change other people, you must change yourself. It is the
only thing we have power over. If the flaws appear to be a big part of you that
others also dislike, then change this part about you to the best of your
ability.
Everything that we see outside of ourselves is a reflection
of what is inside of us. The environment, the people, the economy, everything
because we, as a collective whole, see these things jumbled into our world. If
we did not have these qualities present within ourselves somewhere, we would
not recognize them in our world.
If you want to change a mirror’s reflection, you must
change. Once you have adjusted your emotions and beliefs, you will find that
the reflection in your environment will have adjusted to match your new inner
reality.
