If your unhappy; you need to change it

The number of people who I meet whether it's at work, or at the shelter who are unhappy with their life. But they wont change it, instead they continue in that lifestyle, they wont take in what anyone else tells them.
While I was out last night with this lady I met through the shelter. She told me all about her child, and her husband. She depends on him, and he controls her life but she just shrugged it off, and said I guess thats life.
I had some things in my life that I was unhappy about, and I had to change it. I am much happier now, it did take several months almost a year to get there. But I can't see why people wont change, and will put up with it to make others happy, or the fact they don't like change.

Some people enjoy wallowing in self pity and others are just too scared of the uncertainty of change.

I think you are absolutely right. Some like the negative attention they get or they don't want to take that step to change over their own fears.

@ricki_911 Exactly. It's like the saying goes, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink." It's the same way with people, you can try to lead them on the right path, but they have to be willing to want to do so.

I know ! My friend spent several hours complaining of her 7 year old behaviour it comes back to the parenting or the lack of. She want her son to be happy and like her yet sometimes you can't have that.

Well a lot of people are afraid of change or even take a risk in finding out there are other things in life that can happen aside from what they are used to. Some just don't know how to ask for help too. Sometimes it takes other people or a painful event for them to realize a lot of things need to be changed in their life.

I think change is hard because, we become accustomed to our lifestyle and to not take responsability for our actions sometimes we are so disengaged from our life that it seems impossible to change , there is no key to being able to change it is just oneself and when one is used to living a certain way for years our habits take over.
