Here's a harsh reality. If you don't care enough to change your life, it's never going to happen. So thinking that you're going to change someone else who doesn't really want to change is kind of like saying that you're going to turn day into night just because you think it would be a really good idea for day. It's not going to happen. So before you go on a crusade to change someone, you need to ask yourself if they really want to be changed. If you truly want to have an impact on the people around you, change yourself first. Be the example and set the standard. Remember, all improvement starts with self improvement.
