“You are very powerful, provided you know how powerful you are.”— Yogi Bhajan
Many of us do know how powerful we really are, it’s just we don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. If we think we need to assert ourselves and we don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings, then it would be at our expense of suppressing our own power. However, there are others who feel comfortable wielding their power, sometimes in an abusive manner. We just need to find a balance to assert ourselves without being overly aggressive. It is about respecting one another, getting our needs met and give and take in a group setting. We have the same rights as another to voice our opinions in a respectful manner.
