People has the unique capability of changing. If we put our mind to it, we can produce amazing changes. We can convert thoughts into reality. We can change our habits, we can change our perspectives, we can change our relationships with others.
The problem is not whether people can change, but whether they want to. Perhaps you have been told that you are quite an asshole. But you don’t change. You feel that you can’t. It’s probably more like you won’t. You don’t want to change. It might be more convenient for you to be an asshole. So you didn’t change.
So the difficult thing is not about changing, it’s about wanting to change. About finding the courage to change what’s convenient for us to something that’s more beneficial to others.
