True power is about our relationship with self, not with others

By Wendy Watson-Hallowell

Do you believe that we are responsible for other people’s reactions to us? If we are told we are hurting others, is it true? Can we really hurt others by simply being ourselves? Or is this just another way of giving away power? So then what is our true power?

Power Responsibility

Expecting others to help us feel OK because we helped them feel OK is a sure way to lose touch with our true responsibility and how we give our power away to others. What if the reality is that we are only responsible for our response to others? Does this mean that you can’t be ‘hurt’ by anyone else?

Quantum physics demonstrates that our experience really is all about our relationship with ourselves – not about our relationship with others.

The bad news about this new perspective is that we can no longer blame anyone for making us feel bad. The good news about it is that no one can actually hurt us… because you can only get hurt when you believe what others are saying is true.

True Power
