Can people change, really?

If you type “People don’t…” into Google, its first guess for the completion of your sentence will be “… change.”

The world seems to want us to believe that people don't change, but the idea is quite ludicrous. If people didn’t change, then we’d all still be running around in our Spiderman jumpsuits trying to deface our little sister’s My Little Ponies...

This short video explores how and why we should question this long-standing misconception.

*Tell me what you've learned in life that somehow made it better.*

I used to believe that "you can't help who won't be helped". You can. You need to understand the root of their resistance. They need to find their avenue and motivation for change. It's super complex, but possible

I'm not the person I used to be and yet, I still have always been me. it's a duality

Thank you for sharing! You are correct, I just learned at my ripe old age🤨😂that I can change me, my world and my future. I was having a tough morning and it was a pleasure to watch your video and hear your words of encouragement. Keep up the good work.🥰

I saw you on Sam's channel and liked the interview a lot. I like this little tidbit of golden information too! Awesome! Thanks for sharing!❤

Isn't it also true that to make a meaningful change in say, a "cluster b personality" they have to be very willing to do so? The very nature of the symptoms makes it very difficult for them to change without being somewhat 'vigilant' about it.

The reason I'm bringing attention to it is because this video makes it seem like as long as you're 'positive' that it will make the change happen because we are always changing. You seem to conflate growing up with changing as a person. I think making a clear distinction here is important.
