We all have the ‘how I wish’ statements, don’t we?
How I wish I could change my husband and make him appreciate me a little more.
How I wish I could change my children and make them listen to me more.
How I wish I could change the world and reduce the terrible negativities, unhappiness and misery.
But the truth is, we cannot change anyone, the only person we really have power over, is ourselves.
The moment we realize this truth, we allow them to be the way they are and we love them and ourselves a little more.
When we love and accept others the way they are, they might become more receptive to what we say and we can, then, probably influence them in a loving way.
