There has been many occasions where people tried to change me and where i tried to change others. What i have realized is that it is true, you can never change somebody, ever! What you can do is plant a seed: give the advice, help them, tell them what they need to hear. In the moment they might never listen and not change, but that seed might sprout with time and inspire change in them. I remember things that people told me years ago that i always ignored, and then later on i thought about what they said again and it made much more sense and i actually started to change certain things!

In her book "Remarkable Changes - Turning Life's Challenges Into Opportunities", actress Jane Seymour writes:
"I don't think we arrive anywhere in life. We, as well as our circumstances, are constantly evolving, constantly changing in large ways and small".
Life is all full of change, change is growing, change can be liberating.
Go with it! ❤

Who says CODEPENDENCY!!!
This addiction to try to change/save/manipulate toxic partners is pure self-destruction. We can't change others but its a hard pill to swallow.
We mask this behavior under the mask of "goodness" when in reality we want something back: receive appreciation, love, prestige, respect, sex, favors. The goodness is hypocresy in reality. Its hard to admit but it is the truth.

Hey Mark, I sort of agree but kind of disagree with the notion that getting someone to change for you undermines it. Let’s say my spouse is an alcoholic and the only motivator that gets them to stop drinking is to keep me. Would the fact they’re doing it to keep me in their life undermine the whole endeavor? I think the big miss on this one is that it’s literally impossible to do something you don’t want to do. Where I agree with you is that if you manipulate someone into wanting to change in a way that is not good for them, then that certainly undermines it. But that’s just another way of saying, don’t be an ass, which is really what it’s all about.

Even in telling people to do this, you're trying to change people. It's kind of weird how that works. To be fair, i agree with your message. I prefer the phrasing "don't try to control people." It's better to manage yourself to provide an example that other people can feed off of so that they can learn to lead themselves as well. Just be kind. That's the easiest way for people to see that what you're doing is working for you, and then they'll be more inclined to try it because they desire whatever strength it is that enables you to be kind.

"Be the change that you wish to see in the world." These words, spoken by our beloved Mahatma Gandhi, emphasize the importance of personal endeavour and proactive leadership in shaping our surroundings. Rather than relying on others to influence the shift, we must seize the initiative and strive for improvement ourselves.
It is common for individuals to exploit situations for their own benefit, camouflaging their self-interest beneath the guise of altruism. Similarly, we may anticipate others to act virtuously, but this expectation is often met with fear and laziness. To overcome these obstacles, we must assume responsibility for creating positive change and serve as exemplars for others to follow. By taking action and leading by example, we can inspire and motivate others to join us in our quest for progress. When we work together towards a shared goal, there is no limit to what we can achieve.

My marriage contract says we're not allowed to change each other and when you sign you accept the person you are marrying exactly as they are that day. We changed a lot together but 16 years later I'm still an unorganized philosophical person and he is still a very rational and stable man who loves extreme sports. The deliberate decision to never change each other was the best decision we ever made
