Trying to change someone is a waste of time.

The very thought of changing someone is saying that they are not good enough as they are, and that thought is soaked with judgment and disapproval.

That is not a thought of appreciation or love, and these thoughts will only bring separation between you and that person.

Once you change, change happens. This is a big lesson.

Expecting someone else to change is like pleading with a manufacturer to turn TEA into a COFFEE.

You must look for the good in people, to have more of it (their goodness) appear.

As you look only for the good things in a person, you will be amazed at what your new focus reveals.
