Nobody can hurt me without my permission.

Mahatma Gandhi
About This Quote

Nobody can hurt me without my permission. This is a powerful belief that can help protect you. The way it works is you take some kind of problem and then you say, “Nobody can hurt me without my permission.” So then, nobody can do anything that you don’t want them to do first. But, don’t tell yourself this because if they do what you’ve told them not to do, you will feel upset and angry and frustrated and sad, but if they don’t do what you said they had to do, then you will feel disappointed or let down or mad that they didn’t listen to what you said. In the end, that feeling of disappointment is the same one that the person who hurt you would feel if they had done exactly what they was told not to do.
