Not too long ago, I was in an awful situation with someone close to me. There were things we could’nt see eye to eye with. At that time, my thought was why is he thinking that way, why cant he think this way. I was bothered by it until someone told me if I wanted him to change, I must change first. I learnt how to understand the reason behind his actions. I realised I have to change the way I handle things in order for him to realise what I was trying to do. Things have been better over the weeks and is improving. It takes time to see results. But with the determination to change and with faith, I believe things will change for the better.
I think this applies to our lives too. If we want changes in our lives, we must start by changing the way we do things. We cannot expect someone to do the changes in their lives to suit our way of seeing or achieving things. Change starts with ourselves.

Yes I totally agree with you, many times people put the blame on others, because it is easier to blame others than to take responsibility ourselves.
great sharing!
