It\u2019s so easy to give our power away.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One day, we wake up and realize that we\u2019re living a lie. And then, we begin to take our power back.<\/p>\n
The world that is used to us being subservient will fight back. We have to stand our ground. We have to trust that the greatest power in the universe has our back.<\/p>\n
When I think about how many times I\u2019ve decided to hold my tongue or just give someone what they want, because I didn\u2019t want to rock the boat, makes me sick.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s my own fault for bending over backward to please other people without taking the time to check in with myself. But some people really are overwhelming, and it\u2019s their form of control.<\/p>\n
Like, if some people just talk loud enough, or cry long enough, or stir up a big enough fuss, you\u2019ll have to give them what they want. There have been times I\u2019ve said nothing to keep the peace, and other times I\u2019ve said what I thought someone wanted to hear.<\/p>\n
Well, that\u2019s over.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m done letting other people decide for me.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m done letting other people\u2019s emotions control me. Because, if we sit in a corner with our bitterness and resentment, and we let it fester, it only harms us.<\/p>\n
If we don\u2019t communicate our feelings to anyone, we can\u2019t blame someone for not knowing how we feel.<\/p>\n
We are responsible for our own journey.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ve got to be brave enough to bring everything that is in the darkness out in the light; you have to be strong enough to speak up for yourself, strong enough to stand your ground.<\/p>\n
Be brave. Be strong. And let the practice change your world.<\/p>\n
