You ARE God pt3

Now let's add a new twist to the abusive relationship story. The woman may not mind so much that she is not being treated right. But what happens when her child, whom she loves more than anything else in this world, becomes the target of her significant other's violence? Suddenly a switch flips in her brain and she goes from being a meek subservient mouse like little woman to an awesomely terrifying, aggressive, rage filled wolverine, willing to kill and or die to protect her young. One way or another, that relationship is over, that very minute.

But what actually happened? She decided that what she was getting out of the relationship was worth the abuse continuing, all the way up until the moment where her child was in imminent danger. At that instant it was no longer worth it to her. And in that instant she took her power back and chose a new destiny. And truth be told she will probably end up in the same kind of relationship again, because people tend to follow the same patterns for most of their life. And as long as the next abusive mate does not threaten her child they will probably not get to meet the wolverine within her.

What if, though, she decides not to let other people abuse her anymore? What if she decides to take back her personal power in all aspects of her life and to control her destiny through every choice she makes and to stop letting life and others in her life make choices for her?  It sounds crazy right? Control your own destiny? How can anyone possibly do that? Well let's take a look.

Some things are easier to control than others. However, I say that each specific facet of your life can be controlled. Though you will probably decide it is not worth the effort in some cases. And taking control of some aspects makes it difficult to control others.

Suppose you decide that you do not ever want to get hit by a bus. How can you control that? Simple. Move to the fourth floor of an office or apartment building and never leave it for any reason. This will drop your chances from one in thousands to one in probably billions or trillions. But is it feasible to do? Not really, not if you intend to be a normal productive member of society. But it IS possible. Or if you don't want to get a virus on your computer, don't ever connect to a network,don't install any new software, never use external drives and never let anyone else use your computer. Again possible but not feasible.

Also, these things are not exactly what I mean when I say control your destiny. They are a part of it but not the meat of it. I mean control how other people treat you by making them fully aware of what is and is not an acceptable way of treating you. When and if they step over the line, politely but firmly put them back on the other side of it. And if they continually step over the line, warn them first and then if they still persist in mistreating you, cut them off from your life, no matter who they are.

Each and every single person on this planet is a beautiful, amazingly powerful, awesome creature that is worthy of a great and deep respect. But, it is no one's job but your own to stand up and demand that respect. You do not have to be a jerk about it, but if you want people to take you seriously you really do have to be firm about it. It needs to be clear and in no uncertain terms. I can say without an ounce of arrogance or conceit that I am awesome and powerful and that being able to spend a moment in my presence is a gift that I do not share with everyone. If you want to continue to be able to enjoy that gift, you will treat me with proper respect. If you do not, we will part ways. It need not be in anger, no mud slinging has to occur, just parting. And I firmly believe that each and every person on the planet should have this attitude. We are all worth it.
