Personal Change

I saw this quote today and I thought about homeschooling… and how we would love to convince every family we meet that homeschooling is so wonderful. I will admit, I’ve been a little over zealous at times, hoping to “convince” another family to change… but I’ve noticed that rarely works… and this quote SO speaks to me about why it doesn’t work!
-Sherri
“Never try to compel others to change; leave them free to change naturally and orderly because they want to; and they will want to when they find that your change was worthwhile.”
“To inspire in others a desire to change for the better is truly nobile; but this you can do only by leaving them alone; and becoming more noble yourself.”
-CHRISTIAN D. LARSON (1874 – 1954)
