Or Maybe It Is You That Needs To Change 'ask dorothy' The WISDOM podcast Season 5 Episode 63 We are able to identify in someone else - in our partner, in a sibling, a parent, a friend - what needs to change - and we become focused on this and often to the exclusion of asking: What do I need to do differently? ~ Change is fuelled by a deep desire. As humans we often seek change in one of two ways: We are motivated out of a desire for self-improvement and to elevate our experiences and the way in which we live life because we believe that this improvement will benefit us - It will help us further our goals of self-actualization and happiness. Change is also largely motivated out of suffering and the desire to be free of what conditions are undesired. You are the co-creator of your life. If you are struggling in any of your relationships - with co-workers, friends, your boss, your direct reports, your partner, your children - point the proverbial finger first at yourself and ask: What am I doing here that is contributing to my suffering/ or to the problem as I see it? And then to ask, what do I need to do differently?
