How can a person CLAIM to want to be a better (fill-in-the-blank), but not be willing to change a single trait about his/her self? If this person has a problem, say... with EGO and says aloud repeatedly that he/she would like to not allow it to get in the way of relationships any longer, shouldn't that person focus on not allowing his/her pride to continuously draw a wedge in some of his/her most important relationships? I can not for the life of me understand how a person can think it is better to push those around him/her away than to actually focus on problem areas and WORK on them. I know work isn't fun and all, but it is pretty necessary to achieve most of the happiness this world has to offer.
I just hate having to come to terms with the fact that this person is not supposed to be in my life any longer. I need to be surrounded by goal-oriented, self-motivated people. I have too many aspirations to ALLOW road blocks into my daily life. I slowed myself down long enough, and now there's no more time for breaks.

Are You a Reason, a Season, or a Lifetime?
People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON.It is usually o meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are! They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part, or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. Now it is time to move on.
Then people come into your life for a SEASON. Because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons: things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
Well, it's socially desirable to want to be a better person. Particularly right now with the current political climate - so this person may just be paying lip service to the idea in order to remain with the rest of the crowd per se.
It's the hardest thing ever to gracefully remove people from your life who do block you in different ways, good luck sweetie.
