Change is a slow natural process

One should never try to impose his will or ideas upon those around him unless they have asked for such guidance. Be an example of what you want others to be. The is the best way to change those around you. Is hard to do, but it can be done. One's effort should be directed toward making himself a person who is respected and looked up to, whose word carries weight. He should speak from true wisdom and unerstanding, never from , nervousness, jelousy, or desire to retaliate when hurt. That is the best way to change others around you. Paramahansa Yogananda
