POWER

A common definition of power is the capacity or ability to direct or influence the behavior of others or the course of events.  I prefer to concentrate on the latter portion of the definition, "or the course of events."  Most individuals confuse power with titles, money or status etc...  In reality none of that can really change the course of events as in, your life.  I believe that in order to understand that we have the ultimate power within ourselves to change the course of events in our lives, we have to accept  a very important truth.  That life is constantly changing.  Change is one thing that we all unequivocally have in common.  Change is similar to death and breathing. Regardless of what we do in an attempt to interfere with with it, we can not avoid it.  The more we resist it the tougher our lives become because we feel we are powerless.  I hate to break it to you but this is a no brainer.  The majority of marketers understand that there is a huge market in the concept that we need outside influences in order to live a healthy and prosperous life.  But, this is not true.  We are by the nature of our existence all powerful.  We are empowered by our source.  Once we accept that change is part of our evolution, we start to depend less on exterior stimulation and focus on our interior elements.  Once this truth is understood we become powerful.  
 We then start understanding that everything in our lives was, is and will be our choice.  That understanding is very powerful.  We have the power to choose how we want to live.  We have the power to think how we want to think.  This is a presidential election year and I am amused at all the political garbage that is consuming all of us, (if we let it because remember we have the power to shut it off), 24/7.  Hopefully, after reading this article, you will look at political advertisements differently. This is not to blame one political party over another because both major parties are equal opportunity offenders.  However, they attempt to divide and segregate us in an attempt to allow us to surrender our power to a ruling class.  And, that class is, who ever happens to be in power at the time.  The irony is that they all say that they love and respect America but their actions don't seem to be in line with their words. We are all one country, undivided, ruled by us, the people but, most of us have surrendered our power.  We have the power of choice to activate and work in conjunction with our changing lives.  
 How many times have we heard someone say, that some thing or some person made them mad?  How can a thing or a person make you mad?  You have to surrender your power to that thing or that person in order for it to make you mad or upset.  So, don't surrender your power!  You have the sole power to change those negative events or people in your life but, you must first believe in this truth.  Listen, I get it, we are not robots.  It can be difficult to live a completely stress free life.  But, as long as you understand that you are all powerful and in control of your life, you can decide how much time to consume on a stressful or negative situation before you decide to move on.  If you hear someone yell out, hey asshole! and, you look back, what does that say about you?  I believe, that an understanding of your internal power is related to your conscious level.  The higher your conscious level , the closer you are to you source.  The closer you are to your source,  the more powerful you are.  At this higher level of consciousness, fear and doubt are non-factors.  At this higher level of consciousness, an individual is living in tune with its source which is, pure energy.  To put it simply, it's similar to changing the radio station in your car and the frequency from one station to the other is not quiet aligned so you get some music but it comes in fuzzy.  The frequency comes in and out.  This example is similar to our internal power.  The closer we are to our source through a higher level of consciousness the clearer our power is in every aspects of our lives.  Once you reach this level of awareness you will understand that you can have and live a life of your choosing.  I hope that this article can lead you towards a happy, loving abundant life of your choosing!  I leave you with the following poem titled, "Power".  "It may not be a measure of physical strength or size, instead it is an inner strength that shows within your eyes.  So much determination, so much want and drive, a spirit of enjoyment that shows we are alive.  You might not always see it, but it's there down deep inside, it just might take some coaching to bring forth that strength and pride.  Each of us can be powerful we have to know it true, to let free our power to do what we must do."  Author unknow.
