Quotes to ponder:
"You can't make somebody change. You can inspire them to change. You can educate them towards change. You can support them in their change. But you can't make them change."
"For a person to truly change, they must feel that the change is theirs, that they chose it, they control it. Otherwise, it loses all its effect."
