What is Power?
We are always in search of it.
And many a times we play with it.
But what is Power?
For most of us,
We think power is something
we can strive for and attain.
So we look around to find it.
When we look around,
We think that power is
having the right job or the right amount of money,
or having the right partner or the right house,
or even the right clothes and shoes..
So we push ourselves and work for it,
this power.
But what happens when we lose our job
or our home?
Or our partner?
We lose our power.
.
Because we’ve mistakenly placed power
In all the wrong places
The places outside of us.
We were looking “out” for power
Instead of “in”
Because
We think power is something we can see,
grab hold of and then it’s ours..
But that’s the thing about power.
You can’t see it.
You can only feel power.
To be in power is to embody power.
And to embody power,
you have to find it from within
You self.
.
Power is inside you.
It’s at your core.
At your core
Is your truth.
To get to your power
You have to dig
Deep to get at your truth.
.
To get at your truth
You have to do the work.
This work is the work on self.
This work on self is the journey.
This journey is the journey of
Finding and sharing your truth
.
How do you find your truth?
Like power,
You can’t see truth.
You can only feel truth.
And the most powerful truth you can find
Is the truth that hurts the most…
(To be continued..)

I worked for a guy that was deeply into leadership philosophy and he would lecture our managers about it. He liked to say that if you don’t USE your power you LOSE it. His point was that as managers and executives the ‘power’ of our positions wasn’t the real power. It was our inner power. It needs to be exercised and the people around us need to see and feel it. That’s how it grows. I think the same is true of our roles in family and other relationships. I think of it like the earth. The earth has a huge nuclear reactor inside that is powering the planet. She gives us volcanos, earthquakes and geysers. Its alive. We feel and respect its power. Mother nature’s power. We each have a little reactor inside of us. The light in us. Namaste.
Yesss.. I absolutely agree. We have to practice our power by expressing the truth and our truth inside us. And the little reactor inside us always has a way spilling forth the truth that wants to come out, through our tears, through the chills, there are subtle and not so subtle cues our body gives us so we can feel and express our truth..aka power.
The search for truth, truth is vital to a relationship, otherwise we can’t trust what is said and therefore it’s not reality.
Ray Dalio’s book Principles illustrates the importance of truth.
As far as Pervette , he says at some point you need to stress test the concept and put it out in public to see if it sells.
Most people are too busy to read a lot but they can easily listen to audio. It has the added benefits of emotion.
You speak the truth about truth and
I like the subtle push to put my voice out there..
It’s like what you have stated the truth hurts Sometimes but truth is power because intimacy or relationships and love can keep growing if we are transparent and truthfully even if it hurts. No pain no gain. And by gaining as you indicate it’s power.
Look at the largest hedge fund … power? I think so .
