We are capable of
directing and determining the outcome of
any and every situation we face through
the power of thought. Yet since
many of us do not realize our true
power, we cannot realize the truth of
the statement: "No one can do
anything or make you do anything unless
you let them." The key is to be
honest with yourself and others at all
times, keep your thoughts focused on the
best possible outcome for everyone
involved and never allow yourself to be
pushed where you don't choose to be.
If someone called you a grape, you
probably wouldn't respond. But if
that same person refers to you by a
[derogatory name], you would most likely
hold them responsible for your reaction.
No one but you can ever be held
accountable for what you do. How
you respond in any given situation is
purely a reflection of what you think --
what is in your head. When someone
does or says something you believe is
offensive, do yourself a favor -- don't
sell your head.
