It’s okay to change in order to become a better person. It’s not okay to change in order to appease, manipulate, or please another person.

You don’t have to change yourself or who you are in order to remain in any kind of relationship or for the sake of meeting the criteria that another person will only approve or accept you when you do. You don’t have to change in order to get into or stay in a relationship with anybody else. On that we agree.

Nevertheless, you still have to change in order to reach your full potential and become the person that you’re truly meant to be. If you are reluctant to change in order to improve yourself as an individual, you will be doomed to remain the way you are for the rest of your life.
