Intimidation

So today I would like to talk about intimidation. What inside of us lets someone else intimidate us? Our prior experiences? Our self-worth?
I think that a lot of things can contribute to this feeling. In recent experience why would I let someone with a college degree intimidate me? I am the teacher, I AM the one that knows the job at hand, not them. They are the new hires. So why on this green earth am I bothered by this. I am letting myself think that they are better then me, when in fact no one is better then anyone else. And you know what? I may not be able to control them, but I can control how I feel about them and my attitude towards them, and how I let them make me feel. I AND I ALONE, can choose to not let their behaviors and past intimidate me!  I am the only one that can control how I feel. The sooner that this is realized. The sooner that I can truly enjoy everyday things that I have missed before!
until next time!
