Changing others
I was chatting to a woman I barely know in my local coffee shop, about human relationships in general. In the wrap up of the conversation I said, “There’s not much I can do about that.” She laughed and replied, “When the behavioural change person can’t change them, then all that is left is to change herself.”
I roared with laughter! Firstly, to be clear, let’s never seek to change another (we can’t anyway), but her response made me laugh. Great advice for us, as we are all behavioural change experts, being that we’re each human. No-one better to take on the role.
Remember, only you can change you.
Touché.
