The best gift you can give someone you love is the purity of your full presence.
Presence is complete awareness, or paying full attention to “the now.”
If you do not find at least some amount of presence in the moments you share with your partner or friend it is impossible to listen, speak, compromise, or otherwise connect with them on a meaningful level.

The Disease To Please
Constant approval-seeking forces you to miss out on the beauty of simply being yourself, with your own unique ideas and desires.

Changing Others
If there’s a specific behavior someone you care about has that you’re hoping disappears over time, it probably won’t. If you really need them to change something, be honest and put all the cards on the table so this person knows how you feel and what you need them to do.
For the most part though, you can’t change people and you do not need to try.
Either you accept who they are or you choose to live without them. When you try to change people, they often remain the same, but when you don’t try to change them – when you support them and allow them the freedom to be as they are – they gradually change in the most beautiful way. Because what really changes is the way you see them.
