who took your power?


Did someone take your power?

I'm not talking about your power trip - but your right to feel in charge of yourself?

At work - are you under attack for advocating something of value? Are you expected to perform at unreasonable rate or level? Has someone invalidated you and your integrity? Do you let a tight job market place a low value on your head?

At home - does your partner belittle you because you're imperfect? Did they jump to conclusions without seeking understanding? Did someone control you in a way that really violated your boundaries and standards?

Everyone needs to feel some of their own power. Once that is taken away - you're on a free-ride to unhappiness.

Take back your power - right now. Put your universe back in balance - you in charge of you and your destiny - them in charge of them. Learn from your mistakes - if you are taking away someone's personal power in an effort to manage or even love someone - you've brought an imbalance that will eventually lead to failure.
