About This Quote
If you need to give someone that power, then you need to be the only one who has it. When we put power into other people’s hands, we allow them to do with us as they please. I’m not saying that we should refuse help when it is offered because having a hand out is preferable to having no hand at all. But, if we don’t have the power to change our own lives, we shouldn’t expect others to solve our problems for us.
