“You can’t change other people, only yourself.”

There have been times in my life where I had very difficult relationships with people who I was forced to interact with at a continual basis. I kept wishing that they would change. However, at the end of the day, I can’t make anyone else do anything. I also can’t wait around for other people to change. This means that I have to do all that I can and let the rest go. It wasn’t until I let go of the expectations for them to change that I became happy again. In some situations, the relationship never improved, only my attitude did, but that made a difference for me.
