This is so hard to believe because we rely so heavily on others and things to give us what we want/need. But as Brooke Castillo (@lifecoachschool) says, it’s all because of how you are choosing to think about it. It’s not actually true because the only person who can ever give you anything is you. Everything else is just an expectation that derives from our ego. Our expectations are a form of control and attachment to the outside world. But, fortunately, it’s something that can and should be coming from within ourselves.
When we give away our power to others by expecting them to give us what we want and/or need, we are also giving them the ability to take it away. Our egos attach as a way to indirectly ‘secure’ ourselves when, in reality, we are actually ‘risking’ ourselves. No one or no one thing can give you what you want. You have the power within you to create and to experience what it is that you want. When we stop offering that power to others, we take our own power back and can now use it to our advantage instead of relying on the outside world. And there’s not only freedom and liberation that comes with that knowledge and understanding, but the acknowledgment of our own power and how we are really the ones in charge of it all.
