Truly beautiful changes and definitely for the better. Loved every line of it too, and hope to be able to follow them at all times. Thanks for sharing
Change that comes from within , by realisation that such a change is necessary , that change works wonders . Trying to Change merely on someone's advice to please them or out of fear brings no longlasting improvement at all.
Thanks for sharing the forward message on change. If we keep trying to follow at least some of the changes mentioned in the post, we can bring change in our life to be a better human. PS
I wish there is a method if some one can make international Mothers-in-law to study these and follow suit. If even 50% these 20 changes suggested is adopted by MILs all across globe, peace would prevail day in and day out. then one would worry about which MIL would get Nobel for making the world so peaceful. 2. If every Dil starts thinking and working as if it is going to be her last day, I shudder to think what will happen to family life the world over.. probably without fights - life will become monotonous if not dull. Thank you. God Bless us all. PS: Today's DIL is 'morrow's MIL!!!!!!
