Yes, it's hard enough to tackle our own potential!

I think when we see how hard it is to create change within ourselves we can be more compassionate, respectful, and realistic of how hard it is for others to create change within themselves. Especially when that change is not self-driven.

This is why I have such tremendous respect for Chicken Lady. She is working very, very hard to create change within herself even though that change is painful. And she is taking complete ownership of her actions and choices, even though they are driven by something within her that she can't fully understand or control. Very hard work.
