POWER:
In recovery from codependency, we learn
there's a big difference between
humility and discounting ourselves.
When others act irresponsibly and attempt
to blame their problems on us, we no
longer feel guilty. We let them face their
own consequences.
When others try to manipulate or exploit
us, we know it's okay to feel anger and
distrust and to say no to the plan.
When others tell us we want something
that we really don't want, or someone
tells us that we don't want something that
we really do want, we trust ourselves.
When others tell us things we don't
believe, we know it's okay to trust our
instincts.
We can even change our mind later.
We don't have to give up our personal
power to anyone: strangers, friends,
spouses, children, authority figures, or
those over whom we're in authority.
People may have things to teach us.
They may have more information than
we have, and may appear more confident
or forceful than we feel. But we are
equals.
We are not second-class citizens. By
owning our power, we don't have to
become aggressive or controlling. We
don't have to discount others. But we
don't discount ourselves either.
