Power
is
the
word
for
today.
It
is
an
important
concept
because
humans
tend
to
misuse
it’s
essence.
Power
was
intended
to
be
used
to
enhance
personal
strength
and
self-esteem.
But,
too
often,
power
has
been
used
to
control
others
including
large
groups
of
people
and
even
whole
countries.
Our
message
today
is
intended
to
focus
on
bringing
power
back
to
the
self.
Too
many
humans
have
given
their
personal
power
away.
You
do
this
because
you
fear
it
and
want
to
be
liked
and
accepted
by
others.
True
power
comes
with
the
insight
that
the
only
power
worth
having
is
your
personal
power.
It
would
be
helpful
to
acknowledge
that
the
personal
power
within
you
can
be
used
for
a
positive
force
within
your
life.
Take
back
the
power
you
have
given
to
others
and
feel
the
strength
that
it
gives
you.
You
will
then
realize
that
there
is
nothing
wrong
with
feeling
powerful.
It
is
the
one
thing
that
gives
you
the
strength
to
face
your
fears,
your
doubts
and
your
so
called
failures.
Personal
power
gives
you
the
strength
to
move
forward
in
your
spiritual
growth
as
well.
It
can
give
you
the
freedom
to
be
who
you
really
are
and
to
share
that
truth
with
others.
It
can
give
you
the
courage
to
make
changes
in
your
life
so
that
you
can
move
forward
in
a
positive
way.
If
each
person
were
able
to
recognize
the
power
they
have
within
as
a
positive
force
in
their
life
experience,
then
there
would
be
no
need
to
force
this
power
over
other.
Why
not
stop
a
moment
and
reflect
on
your
own
person
control
issues.
In
reality
these
are
your
power
issues.
When
you
seek
to
feel
strength
by
sapping
it
from
others,
you
do
not
own
that
power.
Each
person
may
need
to
find
a
way
to
tap
into
their
own
personal
strength
so
they
can
maintain
a
balanced,
loving
and
accepting
attitude
towards
life.
Each
person
can
develop
the
skill
to
access
whatever
strength
and
love
they
need
directly
from
the
universe.
The
energy
you
are
seeking
is
all
around
you,
especially
in
nature.
The
power
that
is
truly
yours
comes
directly
from
the
cosmos
and
when
you
use
others
to
channel
this
power
to
you,
you
cannot
possibly
keep
it
for
long
for
it
is
then
not
yours
to
keep.
Using
other
beings
to
gain
power
causes
inner
discontentment
and
deep
down
you
know
that
it
is
not
the
pure
power
and
love
that
you
need.
So,
why
not
seek
to
discover
ways
that
you
can
personally
receive
the
energy,
power
and
love
that
you
need
directly
from
spirit
and
the
universe.
It
is
there
for
you
to
access
and
use.
It
is
there
for
you
to
help
others
with.
It
is
there
for
you
to
help
yourself
with.
All
you
need
to
do
is
ask
for
guidance,
listen
to
it
and
then
follow
through
on
what
you
receive
is
right
for
you.
Try
prayer
and
meditation
when
asking
for
guidance.
When
you
come
to
the
point
in
your
life
where
you
can
accept
others
and
events
as
okay
in
their
now,
you
will
no
longer
need
to
try
and
control
them.
You
can
be
in
tune
with
the
flow
of
life
through
accepting,
allowing
and
trusting
in
the
self.
You
can
be
in
tune
with
the
flow
of
life
when
you
realize
that
only
you
can
create
and
control
your
personal
life
experience.
So
why
not
allow
others
to
do
the
same?
