You can’t change people. Accept it

You are an innocent soul. You kept trying to change them. You kept talking, you kept arguing, and you kept hoping. You gave it all your time, emotions, and efforts. But after every heartfelt attempt, you felt frustrated and empty. You wanted them to realize their mistake. You wanted to change their mindset. You were so sure that they will listen and agree. And you did all that because they mattered to you. But they did not understand you. They did not change. And it’s time you accept that. People are complicated. They can be wrong in their mindset. But they are so much comfortable in their thought process that every idea that challenges them is shut down with screams and anger. But you have to live with them, so you need to find a way out. You have to find a middle ground.

And what’s the solution? The only solution is acceptance. You need to accept that they have a different brain and a different thought process. And no matter how hard you try, nothing will change. So you need to define your boundaries, the limit up to which you will discuss and debate. And after that point, you will just smile and walk away. You need to find peace in your shared mess. You need to find a common smile between your heated arguments. The most important thing is how much you allow it to affect you. If you make yourself strong that I won’t let it destroy my peace, then everything will become much, much easier. It’s the stubbornness that makes life hell for us. Just take their difference of opinion as a fact that you can’t change and have to live with. Let it not affect your mindset, your life, your decisions, your plans, and your process. Learn to live in harmony even when you are two different people. And all this is not to make you a saint, no. All this is just for your peace so that you can think more, smile more, and live more. There is so much more to life than to make it about correcting people.
