“I Wouldn’t Change A Thing About You. Maybe A Thousand Things.”

Each of us has someone or several someones whom we would like to change. We may really like or love them to pieces, but there are some habits or traits we wish were otherwise. Sometimes the changes are relatively minor. We’d love it if they broke some annoying habits such as being late to everything, or finishing our sentences for us. In other cases, we want to make deeper or more fundamental changes to who they are. We want to change what American philosopher and psychologist William James identified as their “habitual center of personal energy.”

That can never be changed by another.
