I agree, it's impossible to change anybody's mind, but i can't live without fighting because there are things whcih i don't like and they affect me in a way i don't want them to affect me. It just tough to let things go.

Agreed it's tough. It's easier when we realize the problem is usually not what we think it is. We blame life, people, and circumstances. When the real problem is our reaction to these situations. You can't use will power to create inner peace. It starts by observing the mind and separating it from your true nature. Treat the source and the symptoms fix themselves.

I'd like to gently suggest that you can't escape your own admonition to, "stop trying to change people...let yourself be".

As even with the above you likely hope to convince.

There's a way to struggle/labor to enter rest (as the Jews labor to enter the Sabbath - as Jesus labored to enter His rest of glory that we can all now enter thru His Spirit).

When I live FROM me, I weary. When the living comes from His Spirit thru me, there is real rest - shalom - even in the darkest of hours.

Thank you for being a gentle Christian. You bring up a good point. There is difference between growth and change in my opinion. Growth is gentle and inspiring. While change is often accompanied with feelings of insecurity and constant criticism of self and others. There is nothing wrong with growing by watching videos, asking advice, reading books, etc. The problem is when we try to change others unsolicited. Unfortunately this method is what turns a lot of people off to Christianity.

"Why do you note the speck in your brothers eye & take no notice of the beam in your own eye. You hypocrites, first remove the beam from your eye & then you will see clearly enough to remove the speck from your brothers"

Physic Steve's prediction comes true.

Thanks for the quote.

"There is nothing wrong with growing by watching videos, asking advice, reading books, etc. The problem is when we try to change others unsolicited."

Some 'evangelize' in a wrong spirit - hatefully instead of in love. I don't think the 'rightness' can always be gauged by how the hearer reacts (as it can be unpleasant to hear truth).

Re: unsolicited: I'd think one who believes in the consequences a Christian does would need to dislike people greatly to not share what they believe...no?
