Change for you

It is natural when you have made changes in your life, which helped you, that you would want your partner to do the same. You should never try to force others to change; leave them. Let them change naturally and orderly because they want to; and they will want to when they see that your change was worthwhile.

So change for you, change because you see the need and want to. Don’t ever change for someone else, that kind change will never last. Understand that when you make changes in your life, you will be  inspiration to others. Some may follow right away, some may take a while, and some may never but that isn’t your concern. Your concern is how your changes affect you.

“To inspire in others a desire to change for the better is truly noble; but this you can do only by leaving them alone, and becoming more noble yourself.” —–Christian D. Larson, “Mastery of Self”
