We are all Processes of Becoming

We can accept people as they are in a moment, but also accept that things change. Think of a relationship- 2 of the biggest problems there are a partner who doesn’t think their other will ever change- and as time goes by and that person changes and grows it causes problems; and people who expect that the things they don’t like about a person will change, and when that person doesn’t change as they like it causes problems. People change, or they don’t. What we get in a moment is who they are right at that second- and the POTENTIAL for who they could be later. A doctor can’t help you quit eating poorly if they don’t accept that you are someone who eats poorly can they? That’s who you are, you can be someone else. Accept what is, and then work to help realize the potential of what can be.
