Many people feel discouraged by feelings of dis-empowerment. This happens when we give away our power by worrying too much about what another person is feeling, thinking and doing. Rather than focus on ourselves, we channel all of our energy into a situation that we cannot control. Can we truly control another? No! So, why exhaust all of our energy into a futile cause? Focusin...g on someone else at the expense of our own independence puts us in a powerless position. Our self-identity is compromised when we define ourselves by the feelings or actions of another person.
* Do you rely on the thoughts and feelings of others to determine what you should do?
* Do you seek constant validation from others so that you can feel good about yourself?
* Are your dreams defined by what another person thinks you should do?
* Where are you in this equation?
* Do you even exist?
* Or are you just a robot that lives by the program of another persons thoughts and feelings?
Self-esteem and self-acceptance issues are the primary reasons we find ourselves in this place of "need". We are not confident in our judgment. We lack the faith that no matter what happens, we will be provided for in every way. It's human to have vulnerable feelings every now and then, but it's debilitating to your spirit to constantly dwell on someone else. Let it go, realize you are the only person worth your energy and focus.
