POWER & SELF-ESTEEM

“The art of life is not controlling what happens to us, but using what happens to us.” - Gloria Steinem (on Power & Self-Esteem) Some of us are raised to assume all power is outside ourselves while others have been raised to place power almost nowhere but within themselves. Just as the fantasy of no control is our enemy so is the fantasy of total control. Perhaps a better goal is to locate a point of balance in between: a back-and-forth between the self and others, uniqueness & unity, the planned & the accidental, our internal selves and the universe. Like all great oaks, such understandings begin with a very small acorn. □□□□□□□□□□□□□ #wisewords #feminism #gloriasteinam #authorsofinstagram #quotes #wisequotes #quoteoftheday #therapy #morethanatherapist #syedarahman #philosophy #psychology #personaldevelopment #personalgrowth #counsellor #counselling #lifecoach #wisdomquotes #spirituality #alchemy #udemyinstructor #hypnotherapist #socialpsychology #selfesteem #power #personalpower #mindset #mind
