Empowerment

Many times, we believe that other people—or circumstances in our external environment—make us feel a certain way. We may even say, “This person has power over me.” But in reality, no one has more power over us than the power we choose to give them.

No one can make us feel anything. Our feelings arise from within us—from our thoughts, beliefs, and interpretations of what happens. We have free will, and ultimately, we can choose how we want to respond and how we want to feel.

The moment we recognize that no one has power over us is the moment we begin taking responsibility for our own thoughts, feelings, and actions. That is how we reclaim our power.

I invite you to reflect: In what areas of your life might you be giving your power away? What can you do to transform the part of yourself that is resisting your deepest desires?
