Principle: You cannot change your spouse, you can only change yourself.
........original photography and editing by @bleujay.
'Ducks on The Pond'
Principles are timeless truths/concepts/proverbs for our ponderance.
It seems last week's principle was a bit confusing, this week we are looking at the same principle with a bit different perspective.
Thank you Steemit readers. Cheers.
A kind note to all new Steemians......good manners and thoughtfulness of others will take you far....as for those who leave notes and links directing members to their site....and those who comment without an accompanying upvote.......please be advised this is not the Steemit way.
bleujay does request that Steemians be so kind as to not leave gifs/photographs/etc. so as not to distract from the post......thank you.
Great principle my friend and I have found it to be 100% true! You also took some fantastic photos of the ducks... well done!

The ducks are on the pond. Over. Copy that. Great principle and I love the photography and editing. Great work. I have upvoted and resteemed to our followers over at @myhuntingfishing. Us mallards need only look at our own reflection. We can only hope and pray they do the same. But we sure can keep ourselves out of trouble by focusing on improving our own selves. It is quite true indeed.

So very true, I've come to realize that expecting something specific in other's, such as in behaviour, belief, action, or the other 'you shoulds', only leads to frustration and disappointment in life. We can only control our own actions, and reactions to what other people say and do. Very interesting idea you've put forth.
I am curious where the confusion came in, from the idea of other people, vs. one's spouse...Just wondering, I can't help myself sometimes ( :
And I love the duck photos. Particularly all the renditions. Ducks are so fun to watch paddling about. And landing at the 'duck airport' on the water, is a real hoot. Thanks for the great views of our web-footed friends.

Thank you for your lovely comment @ddschteinn.
What you have expressed all so true.......we could use a reminder at times. ^__^
Regarding the confusion.....there were a few comments that seemed to see the previous principle as getting to one's goal regardless of people and others that were confused as it relates to child rearing. However it is as simple as.......one prefers a bleu colour whilst another prefers red. Respect of one's choices is in view.
So happy to hear you enjoyed the post.
Ducks are indeed fascinating to watch.....'landing at the 'duck airport'......too humourous.
All the best.

That is one thing I like about Steemit. When there is a mis-understanding, there is still little snark, etc on here. Folks just talk or apologize for mis-reads/comments, and it's usually all good. Not sure if it is the profit motive, or just a lot of nice folks. I prefer to think of it as the latter. There are a lot of genuinely nice people on Steemit. I know I've met quite a few.
As for the idea of me vs. you, I've always felt, if someone is not bothering/hurting someone else, just leave them be to their beliefs, actions and such. I like your analogy, bleu vs. red.

That's so right, rather I will say why should you change your spouse habits and personality, you should accept the person as is and see how tou can make adjustments to live in a healthy relation. And this will go not only for husband and wife but any relation. When you expect opposite person to change means your ego is controlling you.
Beautiful Duck pictures

I love your principle of life, many come to that wisdom principle after having few years of family life, everyone sees the things from his own side and of course, it appears to be the right thing but we never think how it looks life from the side. For successful and harmonic relationship we should try to respect our partner and adopt ourselves in first instance be ready to do compromise for each other.
Beautiful ducks, we have plenty in spring and you see little ducklings in autumn. Cheers, @Stef1

He or she loves you because your combined souls understand one another, complements each other, and make sense above any other person in this world.

I'm the biggest fan of black&white picture.
It gives another dimension to a picture.
It takes you to the past times.
I always get kind of nostalgic when I see something like that.
I have a pond close to me, and I remember going there to check ducks when I was a kid.
It brings so many memories.
