An excerpt from "Smart Women Foolish Choices"
It's another really good book. I ordered it at the same time I ordered Lisa's book. It talks about why we go for the wrong guys, how to stop doing that, etc. But I really like this passage:
"But it's crucial for a woman to realize that she was not simply a respondent in the relationship, but half of the reason for the chemistry. Without her, the magic would not have existed.
We find that far too many women forget the real importance of cause and effect in the interactive process of a relationship. They lose contact with their own sense of personal power, particularly when they feel powerless to make the man want to stay. They may confuse that temporary sense of power loss with a more long-term and crippling feeling of powerlessness.
A man may leave, but he can't take a woman with him. She and she alone is the owner of her personal worth and essence. No one, not the most clever or most dark-hearted of men, can steal that. It can only be given away."
When I read that part, I cried. And I read it again, and I cried again. Because it's so very true. And it really helped empower me. I am in control of my mind, my actions, and my future. And so are you.
Uh, in control of YOURS, I mean. Not mine. ;) Duh.
That is so profound. We
