Am I holding my position?

Do you know what's right for you and how you'd prefer to create your life? Amazing!

How often do other people succeed in influencing the way you create your life, imposing their views on and controlling you? Never, sometimes, or all the time?

If it's more than 'never' and you'd like to change that, ask yourself "Am I holding my position?"

​People will always try to manipulate you into doing what they'd like. And you're a nice person, right? So you smile and listen to them. And you're not as smart as them, right? So you think they must know better.

Truth, who know most about your life? You or someone else? Who cares most about you? You or someone else? You. 

So next time you sense someone is seeking to distract you from what you'd like to do, and manipulate you into doing what they want, smile and ask them questions. For example "I'm sorry. I'm confused. Can you show me?" or "What do you mean by that exactly?" keeping you focused on what you know is best for you until they move out of your way.

And if it becomes clear they will never allow your position, smile and walk away. ​
