Don’t Impose Your Will On Other People

Each of us carry beliefs that may be unique to us. We are so attached to them that we try to impose our ideas on other people.

1. Have you met people who are determined to impose their view on an issue, on the rest of the people around them? Or have you been in that position, attempting to silence others and forcing people to accept what you say?
2. Whether your opinion is beneficial for others or it fulfills our own goals, do not impose it on others. People feel overwhelmed to change what is a part of their nature. Your view can challenge their comfort zones and hence bring about rejection in them. 
3. Do not conclude things as absolutely right or absolutely wrong. Whether it is a career decision for your child, a business idea, or a health tip – state your opinion assertively and humbly, and after that respect others’ views. 
4. Respect the fact that people have their own pasts, personalities and comfort zones – just as you have yours. Your role is to share your advice and then respect their choices.  Your respect for their choice will give them the strength to understand your choice. This then takes them a step forward towards being open to accepting your choice. It’s a journey for them to shift. Be calm and understanding.
