I saw this on Facebook and loved it. (Originally from a facebook page called The Athena Tree.) I love Alice Walker books and totally agree with this statement. It is also apparently her birthday today. Yay! This just reminded me of my daily walk. I watch kids and adults struggle with their emotions and anger each day and I know that they are just giving away their self control. This is in fact one of the main things I talk about each day. When we say things like, they made me mad, made me do it… etc. we are giving away our own power: our power over our attitude, actions and feelings. We should retain these things!! Go Alice!! Go me!! Go all of us!! Let’s keep our power by focusing on self control, self esteem and self management. No one can control us but ourselves! Let’s do it, and teach it to our kids!
