Why it is difficult to change oneself?

Have you ever tried making a necklace?

You lay out all the beads and arrange them the way you want. Then you string them all together.

If you wanted to switch out one of the middle beads you would not be able to.

We are strung together by our beliefs, by our experiences, by our character. Everything fits together - we think we can just switch out a bead, but that’s not how it works.

For real change to take place we need to be restrung.
