Get real...with yourself

"God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know...its me. 

When someone wants you to be something other than what you want to be, how does that make you feel? Now, ask yourself if its appropriate for you to want others to be something that they cannot be. 

You cannot change someone. You might be able to modify them, but you cannot change another person. Real change happens when someone wants the change to happen. Otherwise the change you think you've achieved is a lie. It's a lie held by the the person you want to change. They are prepared to fake a change to make you happy. Is that fair to them? Is that fair to you?

If you aren't happy with yourself, change yourself. If you aren't happy with others, change yourself. <3
