Defend or Dominate? It Depends...

Want to know how to suffer a lot in life?

Be defensive. Which means always be on alert, insecure and ever vigilant against anything that could be perceived as a potential threat to your delicate self-image.

Dominate others. In your inability to control your fears and insecurities, find fault in and look to control or manipulate someone else.

Want to know how to find great fulfillment in life?

Booker T. Washington said that, "It takes as much energy to hold someone down as it does to lift them up." Indeed!

Take that energy you've used to question yourself and be defensive -in other words, hold yourself down...and choose to dominate those negative thoughts with mighty affirmations that embrace your innate and inextinguishable power -in other words, lift yourself (and others) up!.
