Many people have fallen victim to the belief that their worth is dependent upon what others determine that to be. We look to others for our value, our happiness and joy in life. Whether that be a spouse, parents, children, friends or our employer, we have given them power over us with this misconception that they control our happiness and self worth.
People will often say that their spouse, children, etc….
“make me so happy”
“Make me so sad”
“Make me so angry”
We accept this falsehood that others control these emotions and feelings in our lives while at the same time accepting the value our employers place on our time.
We have given away the very control of our own peace and happiness.
Sadly too many people have surrendered themselves to what others think of them, and as such they have lost their self worth in the process.
When we take control and decide to believe in ourselves our lives can literally change overnight. The law of attraction is real and when we exercise that correctly in our lives, we will realize tremendous power within ourselves, our self worth grows and we begin to understand the power within each of us.
If we do not believe in ourselves, then how in the world can anyone else ever believe in us?
It is truly simple to change our lives. When we change our thinking, we unleash power that has been heretofore hidden from our sight and our control. Most people say that changing our lives is not as simple as that, they sadly have forsaken their own power to the will of others who desire to commiserate in sadness and sorrow.
Each of us have within us the power to choose. It is these choices that determine our own happiness, not anyone else. The power is yours and only yours! The only question is, what will you choose?

I really like this concept. I believe that the more awareness we have of ourselves the stronger the foundation. Once we depend on another person we may consider them our “everything” which is almost like a ticking time-bomb. By filling a hole with another person’s strength we block our ability to grow. But you are correct, we definitely have the power to be independent, and I’m glad you are advocating this!

Thank you so much. I’m glad that you agree and I pray that more people will learn and understand that the power to their success and happiness lies within themselves and not with anyone else
