In growing up in an alcoholic and dysfunctional family, I have seen the same patterns repeat time after time over the years. However, when you look at those around you, do you assume that you know the people close to you in your life?

When you think of those you love, have you known them so long that you anticipate how they will act? Do you think you’ll know how they will act?

Is the future set?

How would you answer this question?

If you look at those around you, do you assume that you know exactly how they’ll act? Or will you take a step back and be more open-minded in how people will act?

If you think you know others so well that they will not change, then what does that say about you? If you think that others can’t change, can you?

What if you were to take a step back and to leave the possibility that others can change? What if you believe that you can change? If you can, so can others.

The future is not set and when we open up the possibility that there is a world of possibilities in front of us, our world can grow and change beyond anything we could ever have imagined.
