Power Within

 

When I was in graduate school, I remember one day conversing with this girl about the concept of power.

She was trying to say that as graduate students working in the writing center we were at the bottom of the proverbial totem pole and therefore had no power.

I responded by saying “No, you’re wrong…”-- Carnegie would very much disapprove of my opening– I continued by telling her we have immense power.

She just ended up laughing, but what she didn’t seem to get was that we were talking about two, very different forms of power.

The power she was referring to was the superficial, external kind, which it was true, we had virtually none.

Yet the power I was referring to was the Divine, inner kind, which we always have a vast, limitless amount of

I feel we often forget about this second kind of power.

It’s much easier to identify external power because we can see it.

But internal power can be hard to find; indeed some people never find it.

But its value vastly outweighs the external variety.

While external power is constantly fleeting, utilized inner power is constantly growing.

How do you find this inner power you’re likely wondering?

Easy–

Through deep self-reflection and detachment from social trivialities.

I’m just kidding about it being easy, of course 😂

Unleashing your inner power might take time and effort, but it is completely worth it. 

Indeed, once you start developing autonomy over your own life, your life will change for the better.

More importantly, when you unleash your inner power, you will begin to feel more empowered and able to make your Dreams a reality!
