"You cannot change others. What you can do is influence others. Since you cannot change them, you must change yourself so their destructive patterns no longer work on you. Change your way of dealing with them, and they may be motivated to change if their old ways do not work.” – Law of Power #3 – Boundaries – When to Say Yes and When to Say No – Dr’s Cloud and Townsend
How often have you heard or said,
“He/She will change for me?” We have all
tried it at one point or another. At
least I admit it. The only one that can change
anything about me is ME. The same goes
for everyone else out there. Attempting
to change someone with manipulation or some type of emotional force only leads
to one thing, resentment. Rather than attempting to change
someone for you, help someone
change because of you. I cannot recall where I read this phrase, but
I try to live it as best as I can, “Leave someone better off for having known
you.” Lead by example.
