You can’t change people you can change the way you treat them and hope that that inspires them to change the way they treat you – that’s what I realized today.
It’s 11 : 19 AM on day 2068 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Proverbs 7, have breakfast, learn one new thing –6 The 6-year-old child typically has a 2,600 word expressive vocabulary (words he or she says), and a receptive vocabulary (words he or she understands) of 20,000–24,000 words. 12 By the time a child is 12 years old, he/she will understand (have a receptive vocabulary) of about 50,000 words.– and work on my 25 Smiles Campaign – raised $5 724 only $526 more to raise before Jan 10 2017 (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far 🙂)
Today I realized that you can’t change people you can change the way you treat them and hope that that inspires them to change the way they treat you so often in life we try to change people when we should be trying to change ourselves because truly the only person each of us will ever control is ourselves.
Change; hope; inspiration.
Powerful ideas and realities, Nisha.
I think we underestimate what we can change and overestimate what we can control.
A 6-12 year old understand this too.
One thing I learnt today: the 6-7 month old who has this push to grow and learn through relationship. Maybe that’s where we get our illusion of control and anticipate our power to change?
Yes maybe 🙂
