Challenges to Changes

It's a proven fact that if you don't challenge a person to change, they will just stay the same. Sometimes people don't recognize their need to change. They think others should just accept them the way they are. Nobody should have to change in order for people to like them but when it comes to character flaws that can lead to danger and destruction of oneself and others, then sometimes tough love is the best solution. When people settle for tolerating someone who they obviously want them to change their ways and habits, it only makes life worse for themselves because the other person sees no reason to have to change if they can still have the other person in their life anyway. I'm amazed at how some people NEVER change no matter how foolish their life choices are and they grow old still locked up with the same mentality. I don't believe that people who are destined for greatness ever become comfortable  where they are because things around them are always changing. It's only those who settle for mediocrity who is satisfied with the same old same old. On the other hand, people with vision get frustrated when things appear not to be changing at least for the better anyway. If you place a visionary in the same room with an ordinary, it will always appear that the visionary is controlling, bossy, and dissatisfied. We are mainly dissatisfied because we need to know that our words and actions are having an impact on the environment and without seeing change either in the long run or the short run, it makes us work harder. As a result of our desire to see transformation in situations and people, when there is bleak progress or no responsiveness to our extensions of attention and voice, we move on to the next project. One thing about a visionary is that just because we failed over here doesn't count us out for succeeding over there and we rarely become stationary for long periods of time in a place or with people who have no drive to change. Rather, we are what I call, "movers and shakers" looking for a landmark to create new destinies.
