| The Power of Example |
| Tuesday, September 16, 2008 |
It is a liberating turning point in one’s life (whether it happens gradually or in a single moment of inspiration) when the realization comes that you can never change another person. The only thing you could really ever successfully do to help pave the way for another to have an internal change is with your own pure and unconditional love for that individual. It is easy to try to manipulate, force, or coerce others to change, but it simply doesn’t work long-term. You might be able to get others to do what you say out of obligation or fear, but you haven’t truly changed them—all you’ve really done is damaged your relationship with that person.
Marilyn Ferguson once observed, “ No one can persuade another to change. Each of us guards a gate of change that can only be opened from the inside. We cannot open the gate of another, either by argument or by emotional appeal.”
However, when an individual feels that they are sincerely and unconditionally loved by another, whether it is by a parent, friend or significant other, they will be always be more drawn to example of that person than to their words alone. Therefore the best way to help someone choose to change is to A) love them B) be the kind of person you would want them to become. That’s all you can do, and to know this is to free yourself from the fool’s errand of trying to control others.
