By who or what do you feel you aren't allowed to take charge? It's interesting how the world seems full of ideas all set to disempower us if we let them.
One thing I have found to really helpful in my mental picture of how things happen is not to think of myself as an actor, but also not to think of myself as passive. Particularly in my horsemanship, but it has come from that to many other places, I like to carry this idea of being part of the scenery, like rocks on the coast, not perturbed by waves crashing around them. I don't back down and I don't give up the place I have chosen to be but I also don't get emotional about it. These are just things that happen around me and all I have to do to be doing my job is not to be moved until I choose to move for myself.
