Other people

Summary

"The only way other people can have power over you is if you give it to them." This quote suggests that individuals have the ability to control the influence others have over them. It implies that we grant power to others through our thoughts, actions, and reactions. By taking ownership of our emotions and responses, we can diminish the impact that others have on our lives. Ultimately, it reminds us that we have the power to choose how much power we allow others to hold over us.
