A
very important principle of relationships is that you cannot change
another person; you can only transform yourself. You cannot force
people to act in certain ways. Punishing, withdrawing, or trying to
make people do what you want only strengthens their resistance. It
turns your power over to others, making them the source of meeting your
needs rather than yourself. You cannot make people change; however you
can modify your reaction to their behavior. You can awaken your heart
centers and shift your perceptions, beliefs, and thoughts. You can
release needing others to alter their behavior, and love and accept them
instead.
