What do you say?

Now most of them didn't understand my question

If it is difficult to change your self
Even will power and all those stuff


How can you change others

Answer 1

Yes it is a lot of difficult to change oneself so why we think the world to be changed. It is better how it is

Answer 2

Very Hard. I have read over several self help books. They don't give any info I didn't already know. What I need to do is Break the Mold that is me so I can begin to look at life differently, I just can't seem to break the mold. The Mold is who I am and I don't know the person I would like to be.
So unless the person wants to change and recognizes why it is a good change, it won't happen. But I do wish someone would help me change, it could take years.

Answer 3

well for myself I went through all the misery of being wrong doing what I felt was most important that I lost the ones I loved and then to be hateful only hurts ius more in the end so for me too change I said lord I need help with this and I saw others doing the same thing I was and I saw how hurtful and stupid the things they were doing or saying maybe to the one they call there self in love with the most so a person CAN change and I had to to keep from being like my own flesh and blood folks.

Answer 4

Actually, it's harder to change yourself. Changing others is easier. Why? Because the ultimate battle is always the one inside of our selves.

We represent an outer influence to other people. Most people are more willing to accept outer influence and rely on it rather than accept their own advice, whether they're aware of this or not. Dominating others is easy because it requires no effort, just will. Dominating yourself is the hard part because it implies suffocating your own needs and instincts.

Answer 5

In terms of our physical relationship with the world it is
impractical to think that we can change what sustenance
we require within the world, rather we should attempt to
change how we obtain that sustenance for a more
efficient process. We are human, we can't change
the needs we have as humans, but we can change
how we accomplish the satisfaction of those needs.
It is more practical to apply physical laws to change
the utilization of the environment than to attempt
to change the laws of human nature.

Answer 6

It is hard to change yourself, and even harder to change someone else. I would not want to change anyone, If I helped affect change in some one else, great, bounus but it is the indivudual themselves that makes the final thought to change.

I know all too well about trying to change myself. I am in my 30's and had cancer and I am in remission. Everyday is a struggle to change myself from what I was and wanted to be to what i am now and what I can be after cancer. ( I had a full hystorectomy, so I cannot have kids and Lymphedema in my legs and cannot ever get a cut on my lower body or get a tattoo)

Everyday is uphill but I do my best, there is nothing else for me to do but my own best effort.

Answer 7

In some situations i'm a frontrunner and in some i'm a follower and in others i'm neither. In some situations i need to be the rigidity of replace and in others a factor of the establishmeant. With some i'm elementary to get to understand yet not a lot with others. i individually think of that asking somebody to cost themselves in terms of intelligence is ridiculous. In some areas i'm of above customary intelligence. In different areas i'm customary. and then i'm as dumb as they arrive in different areas. an identical applies to everybody the two academically, socially, creativitly and so on.. The final question is somewhat the only one i will answer and that i'd say night-owl.

Answer 8

i know what you mean.

in an analogy like this, its so much easier drill a tunnel into a mountain, to suck out all the water out of a pond and transfer it to another man made pond, to launch a rocket to the moon than to change a human being. even by the time the tunnel is completed, another man made pond is done and the astronaut has come back to make its country fellowmen proud, the person might not have changed a bit, at all.

so yes, unless we acknowledge change and initiate it ourselves; it is extremely difficult to change. whats more trying to change another.

Answer 9

That's a good thought. It is difficult to change yourself, isn't it? Although, I think it's easier to change someone else, than it is to change yourself. Manipulative, controlling, and domineering people can change other people quite easily. Just look at some of the dictators and how they were able to change people's mind and thoughts quite effortlessly.

Answer 10

I say this way:
"It is difficult to change your / other self, but it is easy to change 'own self' if one bears will power to study own self. And then it would not be difficult to change your / other self, because once an self has known the own self, others would flow in on there own to contact that self to get changed".
