powerless

How simple would it be to be able to fully embrace this idea:

"I am powerless"

It's almost a contradictory idea because in reality, we all want to feel powerful.

But let's be real... the only thing we maintain power over are our own thoughts and actions.

I am trying to put that three worded sentence on constant repeat in my brain. But at times, I don't want to feel that way.

I am completely powerless over people's thoughts and actions.
