You cant change nobody

It took me a while to finally understand that I cant change people. I always believed that people have the capacity to change and become better, however I failed to realize that change comes from within. People only change when they truly want to. I finally learned this just about a year ago and I believe its probably one of the most valuable life lessons I have ever learned.

Us women often try to change men into what we want them to be and we sit around and wait until the change happens. This needs to stop. We need to realize that change comes internally and the only person you can change is YOU! We need to stop making excuses for people and their behavior and just let them be, if we don't feel comfortable with them as they are.

Maya Angelou says it best " When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time." And this quote I found to be so true throughout life. People always reveal themselves but unfortunately, we turn a blind eye or we try to change them into what we want them to become.
Sometimes you just need to let go of people and let them change on their own!
