You cannot change your other person. As much as you may want to, you cannot play God and reach into their heart and mold them into what you want them to be. But isn't that what we spend a large part of our time trying to do.
At some point you must realize that you cannot change another person. But here is what you can do - become a wise farmer.
A farmer cannot make a seed grow into a fruitful crop. He cannot argue, manipulate, or demand it to bear fruit. But he can plant the seed in fertile soil, give it water and nutrients, protect it from weeds and then turn it over to nature, to God, to the universe.
There is no guarantee that anything in this challenge series will work. But that's not what this challenge is about. It is about daring to love. I know that sounds out of place in the business setting - but there is no other word for what we are doing.
Today's Challenge: Begin having a conversation with your own soul, your own self; ask it to work a change in the heart of your other person. Ask for 3 specific areas where you desire a change in your other person's life. The idea is to focus your intention on the life of you other person. See it, feel it and imagine it happening.
When complete: 1. What did you choose to ask for? 2. Was it easy for you or did it feel foreign?
