Guest guest Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Hi , I also enjoyed this post and was interested in who wrote it and if I can share it please?

Thank you . Blessings, Kanta > Owning Our Own Power June 2 We don't have to give others so much power and ourselves so little. We don't have to give others so much credit and ourselves so little. In recovery from codependency, we learn there's a big difference between humanity and discounting ourselves. When others act irresponsibily and attempt to blame their problem an on us, we no longer feel guilty. We let them face their own consequences. When others talk nonsense, we dont question our own thinking. When others try to manipulate or exploit us, we know it's okay to feel anger and distrust and to say no to the plan. When otheres tell us that we want something that we really don't want, or someone tells us that we don't want something that we really do want, we trust ourselves. When others tell us things we don't believe in, we know it's okay to trust our instincts. We can even change our minds later. We don't have to give up our personal power to anyone: strangers, friends, spouses, children, authority figures, or those over whom we're in authority. People may have things to teach us. They may have more information than we have, and may appear more confident or forceful than we feel. But we are equals. Our magic is not in them. Our magic, our light is in us. And it is as bright a light as theirs. We are not second-classcitizens. By owning our power, we don't have to become aggressive or controlling. We don't have to discount others. But we don't discount ourselves either. Today, I will own my power with people. I will let myself know what I know, feel what I feel, believe what I believe, and see what I see. I will be open to changing and learning from others and experience, but I will trust and validate myself too. I will stand in my own truth.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Please do share it. It's from the book The Language of Letting Go by Melody Beattie. It's got a daily saying....some days it seems to fit and others not so much.....I've had the book since 1998 and I re-read it every year and every year it means something different. The other book I use is Courage to Change (Al-Anon) and it's the same with that book but I've had this one since 2006 a little newer. Blessings! Domestic Violence is a Crime! Be silent NO more!
