Let Them Be!!!
One of the hardest lessons in life is learning to let people
be who they are. We have a long trail of trying to change people, starting in
infancy screaming until our loving parents fold. Later, we try to change our
childhood playmates into the friend that plays the way we designed or we will
take our toys and go home. Then, it's the siblings, adult friends and even our
spouses.
One of the most exhausting challenges in life is to try to
change adult people. It is exhausting
because we try and fail and then we try again and fail again. We try until we
have a revelation, realizing, we cannot change adult people. It's like trying
to change the shape of a hundred year old oak tree.
