Redefined Power - Belinda Mendoza - Bog

A distorted view of power can impact every aspect of life; whether it is violence, famine, the struggle for civil rights, income disparity, or threats to the environment. So often we blindly adopt a flawed belief system and contribute to its perpetuation. We never question it, even though its implications on our life may be profound. Why do we do this? By and large, it is our desire to control situations leading us to believe we are powerful. Unfortunately, this mindset is an illusion. To control someone or something is false power.Real power comes from within. It's about being in the moment, listening to what is going on around you, and to allow things to just happen, instead of trying to make things happen. It's about following your heart, and in doing so, the universe responds positively because the vibration of your soul is in sync with the grand plan. You build an inner strength that no one can touch, everything is easier, you have no interest in holding on to anger or past hurts because you enter a state of grace.There is nothing more powerful than helping others. The Buddha once said, "Before giving, the mind of the giver is happy, while giving, the mind of the giver is made peaceful, and having given, the mind of the giver is uplifted."There is always enough! We don't need the Fortune 500 position to feel powerful. We just need to be authentic and awaken our inner truth. Everything you need is available to you at any time. You only need to ask and be grateful for what you have in this moment and know there is much more to come. This is true power!"The creation of authentic power is the creation of a life of joy."- Gary Zukav
