Real Power

As a person who has felt powerful most of my life I long to empower you who might feel powerless. Although I’ve mostly felt powerful, I haven’t always been powerful. I have cradled the illusion of power like a protective mother and I have held the breath of real power in my chest as it nurses passion for life. My travels through the mists of power have led me from a narrow, tunneled view to an open expanse of optimism.

Real power is an elusive and cunning creature. She moves lightening fast as she ekes in and out of consciousness. She thrives in stealthy silence and lonely humility. Real power does not shout from the rooftops nor slam her fist in a loud bullying obsession to control. She does not sit still with a white knuckled grip on circumstances. She does stand tall with eyes straight ahead and arms open wide. She does find you through your truth, ethics and integrity.

A mystical force, power is yours for the cooperating, not for the taking. She can only be with you if you are ripe to hold her within your giant hand of self-esteem. She will not bear with your arrogance, but only with your confidence. She will not flow with your actionable habits that are misaligned with your morals and ideals. Power dwells within a house that is built on congruent behaviors and values, actions and beliefs. Power knows its name is Self and claims itself within the center of your being where neutrality lives.

Having no enemies, power sits at the same table with anyone who asks. She is always available to you and she is always seeking the next moment to serve. Your truth, philosophy, values and beliefs determine where power lives and thrives. She is yours as long as you don’t try to capture her. She is loving as long as you don’t push her away. She will find you only if Self is valued by you. Value of Self becomes power when your beliefs and values flourish in congruent actions and behaviors, both inside your mind and in the outside world.
