The power lies with us

It is always so tempting to focus on the behavior of another person – especially those times we feel wronged.  But doing this disempowers us because we can never control how another person will treat us and often it will be unfair or injust.  The solution?  Shift the focus to how we react.  Do we take a stand?  Let it wash over us?  Forgive?  Whatever the case, focusing on what we can do gives us back control and this stops us feeling like a victim.  It is like the old saying “you can’t determin the cards you get dealt, just how you deal with those cards”

Have a great week! … Marcus
