The Quarter

How to Stop Letting Others Control You with Their Expectations

"Never allow anyone to put a quarter in you and make you go."


My father said that to me years ago, and I didn't understand it then.


Now I do.


You know what a person believes by what they do. Apologies are nothing but

manipulation without changed behavior.


But here's the thing about quarters: they're small. Insignificant. Worth almost nothing.


Yet somehow, we let people drop them into us and watch ourselves perform on

command.


The quarter is that comment that makes you second-guess yourself. The quarter is that

look that makes you shrink. The quarter is that expectation that makes you abandon

what you know is right.


When did you start accepting quarters?


Most people can't pinpoint the exact moment. It happens gradually. One quarter at a

time. Until you're so full of other people's quarters that you've forgotten what your own

voice sounds like.


The mind is a battlefield, and you have control over how you think and how you react.

But first, you have to stop accepting quarters.


This isn't about confrontation. It's about recognition. It's about bridled strength—

knowing when to respond and when to remain unmoved.


You're a pattern breaker. A generational curse breaker.


Jesus Christ, the Son of God, never accepted quarters from anyone. Not from the

Pharisees. Not from Pilate. Not even from His own disciples when they tried to redirect

His mission.


He knew whose He was.


The question isn't whether people will try to put quarters in you. They will.


The question is, will you let them?


Ready to stop accepting quarters and start operating from your true identity?
