Thank you Leon


I received a beautiful message today from Leon Botha:

"The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the
oppressed"- Steve Bantu Biko
A grasp over your mind is what they want, because THEY feel inferior.
Know this, & that no matter how far they go, or how they make you feel...
they can NEVER have your mind!
I know... I live in a world DESIGNED for others. (Often exclusively)
Balance is true power, power without a need to use it.
Stay strong & ALWAYS love & respect yourself,
Peace->Leon Botha

All I can say is "brillian"... when you strike that balance, that is when you have the power and you never need give your power away. Giving power away is when you start believing what the bullies say about you and you start to get insecure and withdraw - that's exactly what they want you to do. When your life revolves around the bullies and you start making decisions about where to go and where and how to behave, you are giving power away.

Put yourself first, trust in yourself and as Leon Says - Stay strong & ALWAYS love & respect yourself
