We can influence others. We can educate others. We can inspire others. We might even punish others.

We can’t forcefully change others, as much as we want to and sometimes desperately try to.

It is like trying to change the weather. We are very good at adapting to weather. Even better than adapting to others, unlike with the weather, we can influence, educate and inspire others, in ways that may lead to a positive affirming change in them. If, of course, we are sure we know what that change would be.

We can curse the rain all day. Better to grab an umbrella.
