The Let Them Theory

by Mel Robbins

“True power lies in our response. My father believed that nonviolence was not passive but the most courageous form of action—choosing peace when hatred tries to provoke. By refusing to react with bitterness, we reclaim our power and shape a better future.”

The source of your power is not in managing other people; it’s in your response. When you say Let Me, you’re tapping into that power by taking responsibility for what you do, think, or say next. Let Me makes you realize that you are in control of what happens next and that life is more fun and fulfilling when you’re not sitting alone in your superiority.

You are stronger than anyone else’s emotional reaction.
