You Can Lead A Horse To Water But You Can’t Make Him Drink

You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink. So often in life we believe if we change others, we will change a situation that isn’t working for us, whether it is a co-worker or a spouse. The truth is we can’t change anyone but we can lead them to water. What does this mean? It means we must be the leader by doing the things we know to do and being the person we need to be. We must drink the water so to speak. By modeling this behavior those around us just may get thirsty and follow or lead. We can never change another but when we change, when we make a commitment to being the best we can be, we inspire others around us to do the same. The result is always a positive one, no matter what the “horse” decides. Let yourself drink and be nourished, know that it will ultimately serve you and others.
