Quote Theresa, I know there's a part of you that...

“Theresa, I know there's a part of you that believes you can change someone, but the reality is that you can't. You can change yourself, and Garrett can change himself, but you can't do it for him.” - Nicholas Sparks

Decryption of quote

Theresa, my dear friend, I see the hope in your eyes, the belief that you can be the catalyst for change in someone else's life. It's a noble thought, but one that must be tempered with the truth. You cannot mold another person into who you want them to be. Each individual is responsible for their own growth and transformation.

It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that we have the power to fix others, to make them better versions of themselves. But the reality is that true change comes from within. You have the power to change yourself, to become the best version of who you are meant to be. And Garrett has that same power within him.

It's a journey of self-discovery and self-improvement that we must all embark on. We cannot carry the burden of changing someone else on our shoulders. It's not our responsibility, nor is it within our control. Each person must take ownership of their own growth and development.

So, Theresa, I urge you to focus on your own journey of growth and self-improvement. Be the best version of yourself that you can be, and inspire others to do the same. Lead by example, showing others that change is possible, but it must come from within.

And as for Garrett, trust that he has the strength and determination to change himself. Offer your support and encouragement, but remember that the power to change lies within him. Be there for him as he navigates his own path of growth and transformation.

Remember, Theresa, that you are not responsible for changing others. Your role is to be a guiding light, a source of inspiration and support. Embrace your own journey of self-discovery, and watch as others are inspired to do the same.
