Your Reaction Is Power — Without It, They Have None

Let’s be real — people only have as much power over you as you give them.

That shady comment? That weird energy in the room? That person who knows exactly how to push your buttons? All of it loses its grip when you don’t react. Your silence, your peace, your decision to not engage — that’s power.

Sometimes people poke just to see if you’ll flinch. But here’s the thing: when you don’t, they realize they’ve lost access. Your reaction is the currency they’re after — and without it, they’re bankrupt.

Energy is expensive. Guard yours like it’s sacred (because it is). You don’t owe anyone a response, a clapback, or an explanation. You owe yourself peace. And that peace begins where your reactions end.

Stay centered. Stay grounded. Keep your crown on. 👑
