One of the greatest downfalls in our relationships is banking on the potential of someone else.
We go to great lengths to understand what someone should do, could do, has the ability to do but is not doing.
Very often what we see of the person prevents us from seeing that the person is doing nothing.
Parents, friends and spouses have lost millions of dollars and valuable time saying, "I see the good in you."
We usually want so much for our loved ones that we forget to ask what they want for themselves.
You cannot want more for someone than they want for themselves.
If they want it, it is up to them to go out and get it, you should not have to drive or take them to find it.
Do not be concerned with what a person could do; pay close attention, listen intently to what they are doing and saying right now.

The big thing here to be aware of is not to want them to do the things that will please us and think that's whatb they should be doing.
Good message. Thank you.
Peace
