I'm not saying we have power over everything in our lives - if that were true, my hair would look so, so different - but I am saying that there's no circumstance in which we are completely powerless.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
What we actually learn, from any given set of circumstances, determines whether we become increasingly powerless or more powerful.
Power should not be concentrated in the hands of so few, and powerlessness in the hands of so many.
Circumstances are beyond human control, but our conduct is in our own power.
The most common reason we stumble into the delusion of powerlessness is that we're afraid of what other people would do or say or feel if we were to act as we wanted.
Anything that we do to make ourselves feel worthy and safe is a flight from the pain of powerlessness. Every pursuit of external power - every attempt to change the world or a person in order to make yourself feel valuable and safe - is a distraction from the pain of powerlessness.
Sure you're powerless, sure you're just one person, sure you can't change anything... but you don't have to be miserable about it as well.
But I believe we have a higher level of mentality within us, but we have to use the power in the right way.
We are under God's power, and we can do nothing but by the power of God, and woe shall hereafter be to us if we abuse this power.
Except our own thoughts, there is nothing absolutely in our power.
If we give up on politics, we're done for. Powerlessness is a self-fulfilling prophesy.
