Katherine Woodward Thomas

I'm never going to make anything of my life.

It's over.

I was crappy again today.

And Billy reaches across the table.

He takes my hand and he says, I'm so glad you're facing it now, Catherine.

And I grabbed my hand away.

I said, how dare you say that to me?

He said, thank you.

What was the part of me that was like, how dare you say that to me?

That was the part that just knew, this is a story I'm in right now.

So all of us know there is a part of all of us that do, we know that that's not true.

We're just so captivated by the emotions because the false centers have an emotion to them.

So we have to train ourselves to step outside, to witness, to mentor, to find the part of us that actually knows a different story and to begin to work with that self.

And that's where we come up with power statements.

Power statements deconstruct.

I am alone.

I didn't come here to be alone.

I was born to love and be loved.

I have the power to grow my relationships healthy, strong, vibrant, and long-lasting.

There's an assertion.
