It is very easy for us to give our powers to others and we do it all the time. People around us may behave in a certain way which makes us react to them in an inappropriate manner. We are not responsible for people’s behaviour but we are, for our reactions and responses.
We have the power to choose our responses. Do not give it away to others. The choice of our response to someone decides whether we give away our right to be happy to that person or we ourselves hold the rein.
An important aspect of not letting the power go away is to forgive. Forgiveness is not about the other person, it is about ourselves. We need to forgive people for our own happiness. If we do not forgive, we are choosing to hold on to the thought which will give us discomfort and pain. We need to let go and be at peace within ourselves. The power is in our hands and it is we who decide whether to be happy and peaceful or let it keep disturbing us. The act of forgiveness is to free yourself of the negative energies that the other person created in and around you with his behaviour.
You have the power and the right to choose how you feel, how you respond and how you behave. Do not be affected by external circumstances or other people’s behaviour. If you are strong in yourself and choose to be happy irrespective of any external factor, no one can change that because you did not let your power go away. Not letting your self affected by other person’s behaviour does not mean that you are accepting that behaviour. It is just that you do not want to let it change the way you feel. It is about you and not the other person.
It is important for us to realize our strength. The reason for our happiness or sadness lies with us and no one else. Retain the power and keep pulling your own strings.
