3 Important Truths About Trying to Change Other People
b"\\u201cAnytime we argue with reality, we lose. But only 100% of the time.\\u201d This quote from Byron Katie speaks a lot of truth, especially when it comes to our interactions with the people we love. The truth is, we cannot change others. As much as we think that it\\u2019s right or we think we know what\\u2019s best for them, the only person who can decide to change and take steps in a new direction is that individual.\\xa0\\nIn today\\u2019s Big Idea Tuesday episode, Dhru walks us through a fundamental question we\\u2019ve all likely been guilty of. Why do we try to change other people? He says there are three main reasons why:\\xa0\\n1. Because we think we know what's best for them.\\n2. We want to manipulate them into doing what we want them to do.\\nOr 3. Because we're afraid of the unknown\\u2014we don\\u2019t want other people to make a decision that might leave us behind.\\nHowever, it\\u2019s not up to us to change others.\\xa0\\nIn this episode, Dhru takes us through three important truths and one bonus point about trying to change other people:\\n1) People rarely change, and when they do it\\u2019s on their timeline, not yours.\\n2) The truth is that you can\\u2019t possibly know what\\u2019s 100% right for someone else\\u2019s life.\\n3) This doesn\\u2019t mean you can\\u2019t support someone to or through change. But first and foremost, you must drop any judgement of them.\\nBonus) Set Boundaries: When you 100% accept someone for where they are right now, you can be 1000% clear with them with what works and doesn't work for you!.\\nDo you have someone in your life that you wish would change?
