If you allow someone to control you, you surrender part of your power to them.

About This Quote

When you allow someone to control you, you surrender part of your power to them. When you surrender your power to someone, that person can create a negative situation for you and then blame it on you, while they remain unscathed and unharmed. They will then see this as a way of getting back at you for something they did not like. This is a result of people making the same mistake over and over again rather than learning from their mistakes.
