When someone says they are going to change, do you believe them? Are you ready to help them? How much effort do you put into helping them? Most importantly, do you know when to stand back and let them do the work on their own?
Most people have talked about making a change at some point in their lives. The question is, how serious are they?
Consider someone who has made the same mistake several times. He doesn't seem to learn. Yet each time, he is adamant he will never do that same thing again. And within months, he has walked right into the same situation.
I wonder, then, if he really meant what he said. And how much effort should I expend when he isn't, unless that's his point--to get me to fix his problems for him. But here's the thing: that ain't gonna happen. He has to fix himself.
