About This Quote

To try to change someone to suit your desires is a setup for disappointment. This quote is a perfect example of how we can be our own worst enemy. And, as a result of our own actions, we can find ourselves in very difficult situations that are out of our control. Take someone who is determined to be your friend, but you want them to be more like your best friend.

That’s just asking for trouble. It may not happen overnight, but if you keep pushing someone to change how they act, you will eventually cause the person to stop caring about the relationship at all. You may think you are doing them a favor, but in reality it will only lead to heartbreak and pain.
