About This Quote
The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any. We all have the power to change the world – to create a better society – but this is only true if we use that power for the good of others, not ourselves. If we truly want to make a difference in the world, then we must take responsibility for it and use our gifts to help those who need help, not those who are already benefiting from our gifts.
