Practical Thoughts
We’ve all been there. You fall in love with someone’s smile, their laugh, the way they make you feel alive. Then slowly, almost without noticing, you start seeing the “flaws.” The habits you wish would disappear. The choices you think they should make differently. And quietly, you begin the project of changing them.
But here’s the truth most of us learn the hard way: Love isn’t changing people. Love is learning how to see people as they are, and as they’re not. Other people are going to change when they feel like changing for themselves. They don’t change for you. And the more you pressure them to change, the more they’re going to resist it.
