Most of the times we get upset when we hear the word Power. Normally the things that come to our heads are: tyranny, oppression, despotism, fascism, dominant… That to me is a misused power.
Power to me is the capacity to smile to a stranger regardless to one’s inner emotional state, it is the capacity to overcome an addiction, it is the capacity to have relationships without conflict, it is the capacity to change the world, it is to grow, it is to be able and willing to sit for an hour or more in meditation without moving, it is capacity to love unconditionally, Mother Theresa, Gandhi, it is the capacity to appreciate the power in others without feeling intimidated by it, it is the capacity of acknowledging hierarchies, it is the capacity for humility, it is the capacity to ask for apologies…
We usually disown this voice and we project our inner power in disgusting manifestations. Any time we say it is not our fault, the state of the world is not my problem, I have no responsibility whatsoever for what is going on, I am just a human… We are disowning power, and actually it takes more effort and energy to cover our power than to express it in a healthy way.
In order to Co-Create a Conscious Future we have to come together and join our power and capacities and skills together and do something with it for our own sake and for the sake of others. We actually have more power than we are willing to acknowledge and it will be amazing what we will be able to create together.
So, how do you manifest your power? What are you willing to do with it? And When?
I will love to hear your thoughts about it.
