"The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any." Alice Walker
Power thieves come in many forms.
Some obvious in their insidious natures~
fear
guilt
prejudice
Some seemingly innocuous on the surface,
yet our souls still drown in the depths below~
rules
norms
expectations
Dare to stomp the ground like an unruly toddler,
scream "NO!" at the top of your lungs.
Arm yourself against the subtle manipulations--
and the outright emotional blackmail.
For in those brave acts,
You'll find your real power.
