There are a lot of people who want their partner to change. Some…as soon as they are together. Funny isn’t it? If they want their partner to change as soon as they are together, then why are they together in the first place? Perhaps the reason of them being together is to change the other person…or to so-called customize him/her?

What about the family member who wants everyone in the family to change for him….but the issue is actually with himself? Or the old man who keeps telling his grandchildren not to smoke while he is smoking?

Yes, we’ve seen or heard a lot of such stories and yet….it’s never going to end. They will still happen. Not when everyone prefers to look outside than inside. Of course it’s easier to tell other people to change. You just order them around! That’s all! But how convincing can you be, if you yourself don’t change? If you tell people to change to A, but you are not willing to change to A, you can be assured that most people will not listen to you.

That is why change should always come from within. Initiate the change that you want to make from within yourself. Be the best example.

And if you happened to realize you can’t really change, then you only have 2 options left – to give up completely or to accept things for what they are. I think accepting things for what they are can be difficult but it’s definitely a skill worth learning.
