AT PEACE WITH THE WORLD

If you say you understand, that you cannot change other people but secretly go on expecting them to change, you have not truly understood this lesson. In order to grasp is full meaning you have to realize that for as long as you are believing the reason for your unwanted reactions caused by others to be lying with them, you have not given up trying to change others. Only when you let them be just the way they are and instead focus on yourself and try to find the reason for your reactions to their way of being in your own Self, have you begun to understand. This is the only way others can change and the only way you are actually able to see their changes. Because while you are watching them in expectation you are only able to see your own reality wherein they are not changing the way you wish them to.
At one point you will probably no longer even think that you wish people around you to be different from the way they are because you have found peace within yourself and thereby peace with the whole world.
