There was a saint believed to have tremendous power to solve all kinds of life problems. One day, a middle aged man approached the saint to solve his personal problem. He narrated the saint with the list of complaints against his wife.It was quite apparent that his every effort to reform or change his wife’s behavior had proved a failure. He requested saint to help him.
Patiently listening to the man, the saint said, “I can assure you excellent married life, provided you become a better husband”.
Confused with the reply, the man curiously asked him, “What should I do for that”.
The saint replied “First give up all your efforts to change her as a better wife”
Moral of the story:
Not only in family relationship, in all relationships, no one will change their basic attitude and behavior easily for others, unless there is compelling need is felt.Hence, accept the people as such as it requires a major mindset change within us. That is relatively easier than any effort to change others.In a relationship, any form of imposing change only results in frustration and hurt in long run.
