“We can’t force others to change their behavior. We also can’t make the world be as we want it to be.
But the things we do, the way we act, and what we choose and don’t choose can make a huge difference in the lives of others and even inspire them to change their behavior. Let’s take a look at how you can impact those around you.

Talk honestly about what you want and expect
The only real way we have of influencing other people directly is by talking to them. Communicating your expectations goes a long way to making sure they are fulfilled. Otherwise, you are likely to find yourself in a long cycle of frustration. When you are honest and open about what you hope to see in others and the change, you are always increasing the chances that said change will happen.
Sure, it’s often not as simple as telling someone to change or to do something in a particular way. You might need to think about how to motivate the person. It’s also not something you can always do with strangers. However, you might find that often a direct request, suggestion, or expectation can be a good way to influence the world.”
