Your Power

I know that what I'm about to write is easier said than done, but it is imperative that I express this very fact in order to reach my pinnacle of freedom and in hopes of helping someone else begin to reach theirs. You should never give your power over to someone else. This act can cause you to internalize feelings and emotions that become the framework of how you view yourself. When someone's opinion of you means so much that it can persuade your personality, you have lost possession of your power to them. Take it back. When you feel worse about yourself after having a conversation with that person, you have lost possession of your power! Take it back! No one should make you feel bad about you! There is a thin line between being telling someone the truth about themselves versus being flat out derogatory and negative. The truth should be told in a manner that makes them WANT to change, not go somewhere and hide. I have been in position where some people thought they were helping me but were very negative and insensitive. The internalizing of negative thoughts, feelings, and emotions result in lowered self esteem and can lead to many tears and years of failed relationships, baggage, and self-hatred. Don't lose your power! And if you have lost it, take it back. You owe that to yourself and to your future.
