You are exactly right!
We don’t need people telling us what to do! We each have our own brain, our own will-power, can make our own decisions. So why are we letting other people tell us what to do? (Or why are we trying to tell other people what to do?)
Instead, we need to begin to tell ourselves what to do. Yep, that’s it! Tell ourselves what we need to do, can do, want to do, shouldn’t do, etc, etc.
It is so empowering to be in control of ourselves! So adult! We’ve given up the childhood stage of needing other people to tell us what to do, think, like, dislike; where to live, vacation, work; what clothes to like or not like; how to wear our hair or not. We can be different all by ourselves without someone else telling us how.
We are free and we know it when we begin to live our own life, making these decisions all by ourselves – for our best interest – that will truly help us and others to become better persons.
What do I need to chat with myself about today?
