    I'd be interested to know why something like this is "very important" however i'll give a couple of example.
    Can't change..the weather
    Can change ..your outlook on life

    @Sholay09 HTH
    2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡

    I can’t think of anything which can’t be changed at least to some degree.

    for example, Genes can’t be changed but then what is a gene therapy.
    life expectancy, well so that can be changed by diet and exercise.
    baldness, can be changed by having hair implants.

    Global warming, the jury is out on this but is supposed to be possible to change. 

    The tides, ok, probably not possible to change the tides

    Even taxes can be changed by voting in different parties.

    Hi @Sholay09 and wowzers, this is a big question! 

    There's an endless amount of things we can't change: what others think about us or how they behave, the past and our family to name but a few.

    The only real thing we can change (in my opinion), is as @woodbine said - our responses, actions and the words we speak.  

    Do you have a project you're working on? :)

    Basic human nature seems not to change but it can be controlled, by self or others. ?

    @leeCal Eeesh, you have a point.  We might think we're acting independently but there are multiple forces acting on us and guiding what we do, from how we were raised to legislation and acceptable social norms.  It's very bleak isn't it  :D
