Nothing Will Change Unless You Change It

Nothing will change unless you change it.

Mahatma Gandhi said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.” Do not live with what is hurting you. Do not tolerate what is causing you pain. You are not here to endure unnecessary pain.

Stop accepting people who are treating you badly. The more you accept them, the more they will continue to hurt you. Don’t do that to yourself. You deserve better. You deserve a better life, a better work, a better relationship, and a better self. Tell people what you want from them. Tell people what you don’t want. If they don’t listen, let them go.

If people don’t treat you with respect, treat yourself with respect. Treat yourself with love. Don’t worry about who is not treating you right. Whether they treat you right or not, you must treat yourself with respect and dignity. That is all you want. That is good enough.

Let go of the things that are tearing you down. You don’t need them. You need your life. You need yourself. Stop thinking about them. Start thinking about yourself.

What you accept is who you are. Don’t accept anything that is not a part of your future. Don’t accept anything that is not a part of your life. Nothing is going to change unless you change it. Are you ready to let go of your pain?

How Do You Treat People?

How do you treat a person who cannot help you? How do you treat people who have no power? How do you treat yourself?

“Keep in mind that the true measure of an individual is how he treats a person who can do him absolutely no good.”

Eppie Lederer

People are not interested in what you have, how intelligent you are, how beautiful you are, or how successful you are; they are interested in how you treat people. People want to be treated with respect and dignity. They don’t want you to humiliate them. They want you to see them as human being. If you want people to respect you, love you, want you, you must treat them with respect. Respect is reciprocal. If you don’t treat people with respect, they will not treat you with respect.

When you meet people, don’t disrespect them. Give them love. Give them happiness. Make them believe in themselves. The more love you give to people, the more love you will receive. You get back what you sent into the world. If you send disrespect, you will receive disrespect. If you send respect, you will receive respect. Be mindful how you treat people. If you want to be treated with respect, treat people with respect.
