9:49 p.m. | 2005-10-12 True Power. Lots of people think that power is all about money or education or domination. And, they might be right. However, I disagree. I think power is about knowing who you are, accepting it and being okay with it. Sounds hokey, I know. But, think about it. Being completely secure within yourself is mighty powerful. To truly not care what people think about you? Who doesn’t want that? Yet, how many people view that type of achievement as power? That’s what I’m working towards and I’m making lots of progress. Trust me, it’s a powerful place to be. I’ve got a lot more to do – and I think it’s a continuing process – but I’m on my way. The interesting thing is that I find inspiration from those whom others have deemed “powerless”. People who don’t have money, education or any sort of domination. Heck, they don’t even desire those things. Hope is often on the top of the list. Right along side of determination, endurance and a really great sense of humor. Lots of creativity too. I can relate. The personal work that I’ve been doing has brought me to a much more powerful space. It’s an understated strength. A sense of presence that draws attention rather than demands it. One that brings me a tremendous sense of relief. I no longer have to shout to be heard. And, I do not need to be understood. A peaceful silence is quite powerful. your thoughts? seed flower
