Power

The word itself invokes many feelings. Fear is one, for the word can be over you if you let it. It seems someone else always has it and is used against you. Another feeling that comes from the word, is might. A dominant feeling of having control. This can be corrupting as with great power, comes great responsibility.

Yet, it's a word that motivates us, brings us to a level of confidence even though the wise ones know that even this can be fleeting if not maintained properly. Power needs to be fed, like the human body. You know the expression, you are what you eat, well same goes for the power: it is what you expose it to or it is what you give it.

This word lends to feelings of motivation, of confidence, of a gumption to move ahead, go forward. The lack of of lends to depression, listlessness and emotional frailty.

How does one get this "power" ? Absolutely believe with your whole mind and your whole soul that you are put here on this earth for a purpose despite the physical and mental challenges. In order to even see a glimpse of it, you must know yourself first, be comfortable with yourself, like of even love yourself for the person you are despite all the faults.

Everyone has a power, not a single person is exempted. How you use that, is completely up to you. Sharing, talking, being compassionate, empathic, loving, liking, looking out for another, facing your fears, believing that you cannot change the unchangeable, cannot have control over another: all this builds your internal power.

Consider a battery, give it positive juice and the battery will house positive energy. Give it negative juice and it will eventually drain itself. In every battery, the positive goes in and the negative goes out, it's a naturally occurring phenomena. To be grounded, in electricity it siphons off the negative, the positive always stays.

So it is with ourselves. grounding off the negative, coming to terms with it, positively feeds our internal power.
