Is It Possible To Change Someone?


No one has the power to change someone.  The ability for change from a human perspective is within all of us. It is a myth that one person can change the thinking of another based on social and cultural norms. In reality the power of influence can be given credit for changing the position of another.
In relationships there is a need for acceptance, love and to be needed. Sometimes this desire for emotional connection can push an individual to accept "God complex behavior". 
We are not, nor can we ever be, God to someone! 
As sated above the power to change must come from within the individual.
I tried to change someone I cared about and it did not work.  My persistent efforts did not work because the individual did not have a desire to change in the way I wanted.  When the individual did not change as I wished, I felt sick within because I did not get my way. That was selfish.  
A friend told me "Don't mistake myself for God in anyone's life". I got the message.

Nugget From My Past - Dr. Chris Mitchell

Image
Hi everyone, I just want to share a story from my past with you.    Straight out of school as a young girl I formed a Sports club.  This club consisted of youths from my community who participated in Netball, Football, Basketball and even Table tennis.  We played at a competitive level, and won many games and trophies.  From an early age I loved and cared for people and believed that 'teamwork makes the dream work!' I guess I was an ' influencer'  from an early age!   Life has a way of playing jokes on us -  imagine, I am in business developing and influencing positive change in others! Today I help people develop themselves overall, in many different areas such as goal setting, building confidence, self-esteem, and life skills. Thank you for listening, I look forward to your thoughts and comments Stay blessed and stay focused Connect with me;  Email :  traininganchor2017@gmail.com  Phone:   868-306-7291; 868-784-0529   Facebook

What God wants from us

Image
My Reflection Today Pray without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians: 5:17 KJV My reality, is there are times when I am so overwhelmed by situations or circumstances, praying is difficult. Sometimes, I can pray through that feeling and at other times, it's hard and I can't.   We are human.  However, this morning I was admonished to pray without ceasing.  The Word of God in the scripture above says that we should pray without ceasing.  In fact, our circumstances should not be allowed to manipulate our feelings. We are bigger and stronger than our emotions.   Thus in gratitude, I will pray without ceasing.  Thank you, I look forward to your thoughts and comments. Stay blessed and stay focused.
