The Hardest Lesson

Have you had to deal with a person who would never change his or her mind about you no matter how true of what you have to say? And no matter how much changes you put in yourself and there is no positive response from the person? Was it like speaking to a wall?

The hardest lesson I discover in life so far is sometimes we can't change the way people think of us, there will always be people in our lives who will hold onto our past and use that as the lens to see us for who we are today. Whether that past still holds true or not, they still continue to come back to them and refuse to see the new and better person we are today.  We have to remember people's opinions are theirs and we cannot let their thoughts be your reality. When we refuse to let other people define us, we spend more time focusing on what is important in our lives, and thus we continue to thrive and grow, no matter how slow the process is.  It’s not a matter of effort, it’s a matter of mindset where we choose to not relive the past and live the present where we have more control over our lives and where our lives are solely dependent on us to make our own reality. There are two actions we can take in this situation, we can choose to either to continue the relationship with the person and live an unsatisfied life or we can choose to let that person go. The latter would be the right decision, and besides, they already made up our mind when they choose to ignore us.
